CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to be the world's greatest white female rapper...but I'd settle for making it to every continent at least once.

ABOUT ME

Music makes my heart beat. Playing the guitar, piano and singing at the top of my lungs are the best stress relievers. My family makes life easier to deal with and I’m always amazed at how much they inspire me in new ways. My friends always give me something to smile about. I’m a coffee addict. I appreciate art of all forms, the Impressionist period being my favorite. My grandmother instilled that in me. I love nature. I enjoy thunderstorms and rain in the summer and blizzards in the winter, as long as I don’t have to drive through either of them. I love autumn and the way the leaves change color up here in New England. There's something about nature that always stops me in my place. I love everything Italian. I love to dance, especially when no one’s looking. I love reading. I’m a crime fiction junkie, and have always had a secret dream of being in the FBI, which I guess isn’t so secret anymore. I think I am one of the few women who is comfortable saying that I think I am beautiful, even if I'm just beautiful in my own way. Africa and Haiti are in my blood and I will go back someday, hopefully sooner rather than later. I want to be a world traveler and be able to help people while I’m doing it. I’m a dreamer and am constantly in my own little world. I am my own drummer and march to a completely different beat-which I will say is sometimes a little off rhythm. Some say that I am a little intimidating, but only because I am a confident and self-assured woman. I'm fun and full of life and try to enjoy every moment. I live. I laugh. I love completely.

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Laugh. Love.
Cheesy? Yes...Cliche? Yes...But, it's the truth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is new for me...but I would love for everyone to know and enjoy the New England area as much as I do!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing yet...though I have travelled to a different countries and slept on many a couch...just not through this site.

Interests

Music, reading, music, cooking, music, dancing...did I mention music?I play the guitar and the piano and I sing, so music is my life. I love spending time with family and friends..and I LOVE getting to meet and know new people. Discovering new places is also lots of fun-I'm always up for an adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 2 months in Africa, which was amazing. I spent a lot of time volunteering in orphanages, working in day camps, and visiting hospitals. It was 2 of the best months of my life. I was able to see Victoria Falls (one of the 7 natural wonders of the world), so I can cross that off my bucket list :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is all about enjoying your time on earth. Love as many people as you can. Try to positively invest in at least one person a day. At the end of it all, when you look back on your life, you want to be able to smile and say that you lived your life to the fullest.
I recognize that there is always something to learn. I like learning about new cultures, whether it's the next town over from me, or a city half way across the world.
