CURRENT MISSION

My mission - To experience. Learn. Grow. And to help people understand that kindness is everywhere. Hoping for it in return :]

ABOUT ME

I am usually busy. With work, family, friends, fitness, crafts, and trip planning. I live with my Fiancee' Scott. We both enjoy travel, a lot. We work hard and save to create a lifestyle that allows us to plan trips and fulfill our wild hearts. Scott is a bit more level headed than me. He does most the planning, thorough thinking and scheduling. I am a bit more flighty and outgoing, talking or dancing with random people and going down paths to unknown destinations. Together we make a great team, where our opposites and strengths compliment each other well. We enjoy listening to people. I feel every person has a unique story, and we all can learn from each other somehow. People can be weird, we are weird. But what would life be if we all thought, acted and looked the same? Not quite the same adventure I'd say! :]

PHILOSOPHY

"The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common." -Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by having a lovely couch open to guests! Please message me if you would like to stay the night on our Blue Floral Sleeper!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have none! Besides staying on my friends couches :] We host our friends frequently! Oh, and I hear our couch is VERY comfortable :] If we ever can not accommodate you for any reason, like us being out of town, we will let you know.

Teach, Learn, Share

Listen to your body. Pushing your limits is great. But sometimes you have to know when to stop, take a break, re-fuel, re-hydrate. Remember, your body is made of about 50-70% water. You can go many more days without food, than you can without water.
