About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live. Laugh. Love

ABOUT ME

I love making people laugh and putting smiles on people's faces. That's why people call me "Sunshine" almost everywhere I go. I try to be as honest and as true to myself as I know how to be, and I'm learning to accept and love people unconditionally so that I may receive the same in return.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live in your truth!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

The following movies defined my childhood and adolescence:
The Craft
Beauty and the Beast
Sister Act 2
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
The Player's Club
Baby Boy
The Other Sister

Books:
A Song of Ice and Fire (George R. Martin)
The Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice)
Harry Potter (J.K Rowling)
The Shining, It (Stephen King)

My taste in music is really eclectic. As long as I can sing or dance to it, I'm all for it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned the power of forgiveness and acceptance...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I draw fairly well and I have my Bachelor's in Vocal Performance. I'm also a good writer!

Learn:
I'm terrible in the kitchen, so I could really use some cooking lessons!

Share:
I'm a great listener, so I'm always willing to lend an ear and offer objective guidance, insight, or advice when asked (I don't have a professional counselor's license for nothin').

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of love and laughter!
