CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My best friend would say that I am very enthusiastic. I laugh a lot, perhaps too much. But I figure that is good for keeping things interesting. They would also say that I am very passionate about the things that I do and that I want to take all of my experiences in to their fullest potential. However, I can be a little shy at first. I am also easy going. Not much really bothers me... except for bees and jellyfish.

PHILOSOPHY

Ask a question about everything! Everything is worth a question. If not... it doesn't exist. Think about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interests

I AM A HUGE NERD! I am an English major at Colorado State University, so I am really really passionate about the written word. Like seriously, it is my drug of choice. I often find myself making literary allusions in all social situations. I also love movies, all kinds. Not going to lie, I have an affinity for "Titanic" as well as any movie with a killer soundtrack... mainly because I wish my life had it's own soundtrack. Listening to music is also really important to me. I mostly listen to indie-rock with some seasoning of folky wonderfulness. I am also very outdoorsy. When I am at school in Colorado, I often hop on my mountain bike, named Ike, and ride into the foot hills for the afternoon. I also ski and I dabble in rock climbing every now and then. I also rock at charades.
