About Me

CURRENT MISSION

GOOOOO, just GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! find a place that you dont KNOOOOOOOWWWWWW." -Ben Kweller, Penny on a Traintrack

ABOUT ME

I have always wanted to travel and decided that life is too short and that I should start now. I heard about this site through a friend. I am a teacher so I have time to travel during my breaks. I wanted to try couch surfing because I figure it is a better way to meet new cool people. I spend my free time going to concerts, painting, exploring, hiking, playing the keyboard, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

deep question...um I guess it would be to find the internal unwaivering source of happiness that is unattached to external things and allows true freedom and diminishes all fear. Im working on this....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I see amazing things everyday.......my favorite place is Central Park.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to pitch a softball very very fast....but that skill doesnt come in handy in everyday life. It has however helped me win a bet or two. I also know how to make it seem like Im taking my thumb off when in reality my thumb is just folded behind my hand. (don't show that trick to anyone under the age of 6yrs.)
