Im not in Kansas...i have no idea why couchsurfing.org thinks im always there...
I love traveling! (like most ppl on this site) Ive had the opportunity to travel all over the United States. I only have a few more states to travel before i've visited all of them!
I have been abroad several times, and I can't wait till my next trip.
Currently Tibet and norway/iceland are at the top of my travel wishlist.
