About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and make new friends!

ABOUT ME

Dorky, quirky, and fun-loving! I am all about meeting new people and making new friends. It is one of my life goals to have a friend in just about every city in the world! I'm also a consummate cell phone photo taker (is that a word?)especially when I'm being a tourist or eating new foods.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy each day and take it one at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this community so I'm not sure exactly how I'll participate... but I plan to travel and share my couch with new friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to this website.. so not much experience. But I have crashed on many couches in my travels (the old school way where you look up old college buddies, haha!)

Interests

I love reading and watching TV shows. I love the creativity shown as stories develop. I also love to do outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and snowboarding. And friends--I love hanging out with friends. I think that's the best way to spend my time--even if I'm not really doing much. Just being in good company is entertaining.
