CURRENT MISSION

First, create mission. Second, attack it! Third, relax and be happy. :)

ABOUT ME

I love people, places, and passion. I love Shakespeare and French cheeses. Hip hop music and ballet. I drive an eco-friendly car I named Elle. My new favorite country is Greece. I don't like snakes or spiders, but I love bees. When I swim in the ocean I always go in really deep, and I freckle before I tan. I bake endless amounts of biscotti and truly they are the best. I love my parents. I miss my Dad. If I could eat endless amounts of nutella and red wine I would everyday. I'm a tall girl - not like freakishly, but 5'10 and I feel really stumpy when I stand next to girls who are taller than me. I rarely rare high heels. I love to do improv comedy - I'm a funny girl. I want to travel and write and perform and impact people's lives and most of all make my own fabulous schedule!!!

PHILOSOPHY

never let yourself sit in traffic for more then 1 hour and 47 minutes a day! and even that is far too long.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

remains to be seen...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed only once! But would definitely do it again; it's obviously the best way to get to know new people and really feel a part of the place you're visiting!

Interests

anything that makes me wander off into my own head while someone is trying to tell me something... cuisine, French film, fresh air, the Impressionists, making friends, theatre, reading raunchy Brittish novels, performance art in all it's abrasive beauty, writing in my journal, ballet, red wine in the afternoon, Miles Davis when he gets stuck in my head, and squeezing a smile out of someone.

Music, Movies, and Books

oh no. there are too many! better to talk about all these face to face, n'est pas?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

said "no" to a job I didnt really like, saved money, and took myself to La Rochelle, France for my first real immersion out of the United States! being the only American in a small city overseas is a most refreshing experience. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Though I mentioned drifting off earlier into my own head... I pride myself on listening and conversing. I love being around people, as long as its balanced with my own time - and I crave to slip in to different slices of life wherever I go.
