About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my place in this crazy, beautiful world.

ABOUT ME

I am currently traveling in Southeast Asia! But, I will be soon headed to Australia to work and live for a while. My dream has been to travel since before I can remember and I have just finally found the means and wherewith-all to get out there and actually do it. And, quite frankly, I have no intention of going home any time soon!
Any friend of mine would tell you that I'm a laid-back, easy-going, respectful person who likes to have a good time and is always down to try something new. I like to meet people that are different from me and that have different insights...especially people that have positive attitudes and can teach me something new!

PHILOSOPHY

Be you. I know that sounds stereotypical but really actually "being you" is complicated. Think about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am participating in Couch Surfing right now only as a surfer. Later in life, when I am home again, I would love to host others in my own town.

Interests

I've been training as a dancer all my life so this is my central interest and sole enjoyment in life. However, I also love to write, to travel (clearly), to have a good beer, to eat food, to take your occasional yoga class, to hike and also to have a good conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love adventure/fantasy literature. It's pretty much the only genre of book I will actually finish. Otherwise, I have this habit of reading 1/2 of every book. Music makes my world-go-round. And, I like all types, but if I had to pick one band that never leaves my playlist..it's the Black Keys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is hard to pick just a few moments from life that have left me in awe. I've had many great experiences in life. The trip I am currently on is definitely a highlight but also just some of the simple conversations I have had with people along the way have been life-changing. Every day is something new!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn new languages...oh-so-badly! I also need some serious lessons on cooking. I am great with talking people through things, being helpful, being patient and having fun. :)
