About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have fun no matter what I'm doing ... and find my unicorn!

ABOUT ME

Hmmm ... what to say about me.

I am looking for friends and people to have a good time with. I'm pretty easy going but sometimes I can have my moments. I'm a bit of a neat freak and have a habit of cleaning up after everybody else. I like hanging out with people who don't create drama and don't cause problems.

I would love to travel the world! Either all in one go or bit by bit for a bunch of years. I want to experience new culture, see new places, learn new languages, and try all kinds of delicious food! If you want to come with me that'd be pretty awesome too :) If you're visiting and want to teach me all about your life "back home" I would absolutely love to hear it! I'm an information sponge so tell me everything!

I'm currently in school and working so I don't have a ton of free time but when I do get a chance I love to hang out with friends and just have a great time. I often find myself in small pubs enjoying delicious drinks and food in the company of awesome people. Come join me!

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life? ... To have fun and meet some awesome people and make amazing friends. Even if only for a couple days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I just want to meet new people and find out more about the Project. I'll go out for drinks, coffee, or a meal, but I don't have a place for you to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm completely new! So none ... YET.

Interests

I'm a bit of a geek ... I absolutely love reading and learning about new things! Most topics generally interest me :) so if you have something interesting to teach me I'm all ears! Just don't preach at me, I will not appreciate.

In my free time I'm usually reading, sewing, knitting, or doing something active. I'm a huge fan of hiking and rock climbing and try to go as often as possible when it's nice out. I'm learning how to longboard and skateboard, but I must admit I'm terrible. Any pointers would be much appreciated. In the winter, I love snowboarding (even though I'm not so great haha) and snowshoeing in the mountains. I enjoy playing video games, especially when it involves destroying zombies muahaha (I'm so ready for the Apocalypse)! I like to just kick back and relax but I'm always up for some crazy antics!

I adore music. Of almost all genres. I've played piano since I was about 5 so it's in my blood now and since then I've always been drawn to the beauty of it and how simple it can be. I'm a huge classical fan and have no shame about it!
