Overview
About Me
EVERYTHING BELOW HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN 2009 - Philosophy is still the same but maturing like a fine wine. - August 2017
CURRENT MISSION
To let fate lead my way to happiness, good food and good company.
ABOUT ME
I'm very hard-working, self-spoken and I've been told I'm positively twisted. My life motto is "just go". I act and live on spontaneity and whatever fate shoots my way. I'm a determined, classy girl who knows what she wants but is also looking for good people to enjoy life with along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
*** My Life is MINE to live.***
The best and worst things happen when least expected.. so be cautious, but don't worry about it.
The distance from point A to point B should always be the shortest.
When your going to marry someone and be with them for the rest of your life, you have to love them completely, not just a little bit.
I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you're trying to accomplish and what you're willing to sacrifice to accomplish it. =
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Completely wonderful. My first CS experience was full blown with traveling all the way to Australia and not knowing anybody except my CS host, Ed! Ed was actually the perfect introduction to the CS world.
I've met a few CSers for drinks and we're still in contact! good stuff!
Interests
My passion is to make things WORK and look GOOD.
I basically do a lot of things that a typical male does. I study structural engineering so I go to a school dominated by men, I work in construction so I'm the only girl for miles, I enjoy cars and know more about them more than a typical girl does... and I generally am able to keep up with the witty and inappropriate humor that comes up in male conversation :-)
I absolutely LOVE the beach... and puppies.
I love traveling to indulge myself in new culture. However, touristic experience can only promise so much adventure! I believe that when you allow somebody to show you around, you actually get to experience a LIFESTYLE.

Music, Movies, and Books
I absolutely love music. All my friends laugh at me how I can't help but strut when my ear-buds are in. I love dance music (David Guetta, Schiller) but one of my favorite genres is alternative rock. Bands include: Incubus, Lostprophets, Trapt, Framing Hanley.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Gone to Europe for 2.5 months without planning any second of it. I ended up learning that I can hike, mountain bike, dive off of cliffs, drive a standard, party with Slovakians, snorkel, run seven miles for the hell of it, be independent, stand up to whomever I feel needs to be told off, and believe in myself.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a wonderful cook, I can paint and I'm pretty okay at calculus. When weather permits, I play tennis and I ski. I'm a seller of all trades but I'm not particularly the best at anything.
