CURRENT MISSION

To Travel the World!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm a very outgoing, friendly and fun loving person who just likes to have a good time doing whatever happens to come my way.
I love snowboarding, traveling, sports, hiking, camping, climbing, water sports, all outdoor activities, acting/singing, writing, reading, exploring, diving, and well, pretty much anything really!

PHILOSOPHY

"Why live if you're not living?"

"I do it just for the fun of it!"

"You can only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough!" :)

"It's the little things that sometimes make the most impact."

"Smile. You never know if that one little moment of sincerity could change someone's life forever."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Giving the world a little bit of life!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some wonderful couchsurfing experiences.. everything from awesome hosts, to super surfers, to amazing cs travel friends, to attending CS Events while traveling or participating in a week long CS Organized Snowboarding Trip (which happened to be one of the BEST weeks ever!)...

Overall, I've never had a disappointing experience. Everyone who I've met through this community has been extraordinary! It's something to remember - most of us have the same mind-set - we're not just wanting a free couch to crash on, we want an experience to come with it! :)

It's the best way to meet new people and make new friends. I will never forget all of the fantastic people I've had the pleasure of meeting through CS, and I know some will remain lifelong friends! :)

Interests

Going out, meeting new people, having a good time.
I love randomness!
I'm very spontaneous.
I live for Today, not yesterday, not tomorrow!
I can find good in (almost) any situation!
I will burst out in song at any given moment.
I like to dance in circles.
I love to laugh.
And I don't let things bring me down!

The world is my playground and I intend to have recess everyday!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been able to do a lot more in my short life than most, and I am so incredibly blessed for that! I've crawled inside 6000+ year old burial tombs, I've hiked and snowboarded the Swiss and French Alps, I've shredded Colorado, British Columbia and the Himalaya's, I've dived the Red Sea and Caribbean, I've jumped from 90ft cliffs, explored the Ancient Ruins of Greece, ran up the Great Wall of China, Tubed in Laos, Crawled the ChuChi Tunnels, Skinny-dipped in the Baltic, Hiked Mount Sinai, Fit inside a mummy tomb underneath the Egyptian Pyramids, Island hopped Croatia, Raced horses along blue lagoons in Tunisia, Painted myself neon for the Full Moon Party, Swam with dolphins in Mexico, Rock climbed in Malta, Ran down the Eiffel Tower, Gambled in Monte Carlo, Fought off Voldemort in one of the film locations of Harry Potter, Explored fortress ruins, Bargained my way through Istanbul, Dressed as a Gladiator in the Roman Coliseum, swam secluded beaches of India and explored mountain villages in Nepal. I've ridden horses, camels and elephants across the world. I lived abroad for two years, hitchhiked in Europe, backpacked alone, and most importantly, learned to appreciate and love the little things in life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to share the joys of life with everyone!

I follow "Kristi's Tree of Life" - My theory to constantly strive for ultimate happiness.

Although I have experienced hatred, evil, injustice, cruelty, discrimination, racism, ignorance, and stupidity in this world, it is without a doubt, in my heart of hearts that I believe education, acceptance, forgiveness, understanding and communication is the only way that we as a people can move towards a better world. It is within our spirits to build a foundation of love and happiness and to see that grow and expand over those around us. We are the power, and we have the opportunity to take a stand on our foundation of life by the way we live, the way we do things, the way we treat others, and the way we treat ourselves. Look inside to find what it is you could do to improve yourself and the world around you, and take a step, jump out on faith, and believe that even when you can't see it, the changes you make build one more layer on your foundation and it makes an impact, somewhere, somehow, in some way in someone else's life. We are the world. Nothing will ever change if we don't change ourselves.
