About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission in couch surfing is to meet people from around the world. I love getting to know people and cultures that are not my own. I also love to travel.

ABOUT ME

I have a wide interest range. I like many outdoor activities including camping, hiking, and backpacking. I also like indoor rock climbing. I like to challenge and push myself beyond my limits. I would love to get a chance to travel beyond my corner of the world. In the coming years I hope to get a chance to do some WWOOFing, (World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). They teach you the ways of organic farming and you work for them on their farm in return for a place to stay and some food. I have an interest in clean eating and healthy living. I like to keep an active lifestyle. My most pressing goal is to adopt children. Therefore I would like to have a house of my own one day soon with some property. Other interests include learning, reading, movie watching with friends, and eating :). Finally, I am a people person and like to get to know others.

PHILOSOPHY

Love God and love people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not in the position of hosting at the moment but would love to meet awesome people traveling through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just getting started in my experience with Couchsurfing but I have met a fellow couchsurfer and really love interacting with and meeting new people even though I can't do the traveling myself.

Interests

I have a wide variety of interests. I am an outdoors type. I like to hike, bike, camp, backpack and rock climb. I am interested in agriculture. I like to read, study and learn. I love to travel and dance and I like music and to sing. I like to interact with people. Meeting new people is always interesting as each individual has their own life experiences that have shaped them into who they are today.
