About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is a constant lesson, a forever spiral forwards. I wan to broaden who I am and learn as much as I can from travelıng and meetıng others!

ABOUT ME

Im a fun sort of person, I like to think! Im told I smile a lot. I like to laugh and have a good conversation over coffee or tea or ice cream :)
Like Iv said I'm an extrovert most of the tıme, yet i think me tıme ıs ımportant too. I love to travel and to meet new people and Im wıllıng to put myself out there and make the effort to get to know you too. I really appreciate honesty, and I think I'm pretty forward too, however this is as long as it isn't hurting anyone. I hate it when people use bluntness as an excused for being hurtful.

My family and frıends are really ımportant to me, Im very loyal and If I make a promıse I ıntend to keep ıt. I lıke to thınk Im pretty responsıble and capable. I lıke to have a good tıme but Im not a heavy drınker at all. I lıke to do thıngs wıth a few frıends, but I eqıally enjoys goıng ındependantly sometımes. I love nature and the natural scıences, sometımes a lıttle too much, but I lıke to spend tıme outdoors a lot. In general ım a postıve fun person, whos lookıng forward to gettıng to know you!

*I am a lesbıan, so no homophobıa please. If your a woman dont worry I wont try to convert you and ıf your a man dont waste tıme flırtıng, Im just happy to make frıends out there!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a constant lesson, a forever spiral forwards. Make the most of what you have, because if it matters at all there's probably only one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In couch-surfing?... Well I can't really say yet. I like to tell a good story, and share stories. I love to play board games and learn new games of that country. I hope I can host now and then when I get home and get my own place :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie!

Well right now I'm doing work trade travel via helpx.net. Sort of like CS but you stay for weeks or months and work 4-5 hrs a day in exchange for food and board. Its pretty cool. A bit stressful being in someone's home that long, (hopefully short CS stays will be better!) and some folks are strange and then your stuck with em'. But great food most of the time, and good beds, and if you like the country like me the scenery is Beautiful!

Interests

Reading! I do a lot of it. Painting and journaling. Singing, used to go about it seriously now I just sing when I'm happy, when I'm cooking or in the shower... Or cleaning, or bored.the less crazy intense outdoor sports like swimming, kayaking, bouldering or easy rock climbing, hiking and backpacking. I walk. A lot. I like to :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Whew! I know info is good but this is getting repetitive! I like books, movies for you brain to direct. I like movies, books your brain can spaceout on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I petted a wild crocodile alone on a beach in Costa Rica once. I came out of the closet. I graduated college with a degree. And most recently, spent three days in a greek jail at the airport,over a can of pepper-spray.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about science and nature i suppose.I know a lot of plants names or their relatives at least. And some of their uses.
