Explore as much as I can about other places and cultures and spread the LOVE of Christ not the HATE of religion

ABOUT ME

www.travbuddy.com/petrarchanprincess

Alright, check out my blog up there, it's sweet. I'm getting really pumped to finally move out to Durham, England in the fall. I hope to travel around the UK as much as I can on the weekends, and see London as often as possible. Hopefully I can journey out into the rest of Europe on long breaks. I love renaissance literature and culture as well as American Indian lit/cult. I'm an American...such a mutt my heritage takes about 5 min to explain but I LOVE it. I wish I could just travel around forever, and I can't wait to finally become a professor when I can do two of my favorite things, learn and travel. I love reading, art, wine, crafts...tons of things actually! Anything else just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior, and I live to further His glory. I think the best way to explain it is through the words of Jack London..."I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had a chance to surf at all yet, and once I get out to the UK I'll be able to host people (not that many will want to come to Durham...but who knows?). I hope to do lots of surfing in the future and showing people around.

I LOVE films http://www.flixster.com/user/meghanglass1
I also have a personal library if that helps with the book bit http://www.gurulib.com/glas0174

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing...wow...that's a huge concept. Well amazing thing I've done wasn't really me, it was the HS who came into my heart and brought me to Jesus. Seen though...I'd have to say that the most amazing thing I've seen was Venice. I could eat, sleep and breathe Venice.

Teach, Learn, Share

American Indian CULTURES...each tribe is different and deserves to be learned about as such. If you are at all interested in talking about different indigenous tribes, I would love to chat and give you all the insight I have.
