CURRENT MISSION

Expanding my horizons both literally and figuratively...

ABOUT ME

I'm a born and raised Angeleno (Los Angeles native).
I have been known to spontaneously break into song and/or dance.
I like anything involving creativity!
I genuinely enjoy hearing other people's life stories.
I use too many exclamation points and smiley faces when I type...you'll start to notice farther down the page...
Someday I would like have a career involving a fusion of Dance and Circus Arts and maybe a little Photography (ideally).
I'm not very good at describing myself apparently haha.
My completely divergent career dream would be to work at Charm City Cakes or to be in the CIA.
My friends are amazing and talented and wonderful, especially since they put up with my painting their faces and taking pictures of them all the time.
I'd love to pull a Christopher McCandless one day and just spend time in the middle of nowhere (I would like to avoid the dying part though)

PHILOSOPHY

"To appreciate nonsense requires a serious interest in life."

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well so far all I've done is join and attempt to fill out this profile, but I do hope to participate in some capacity very soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet!! But I certainly hope that changes in the near future :o)!

兴趣

Dance as a means of communication and artistic expression...sounds tacky but it's true.
CIRCUS!
Photography! :o)
Reiki
Adventures
BRIGHT COLORS. Especially in the form of spandex unitards.
Attempting to be less clumsy that I actually am...this tends to be more difficult than it sounds.
Learning random facts that I can sporadically interject into conversation...more people are killed each year by falling refrigerators than by sharks.
