About Me

CURRENT MISSION

APPRECIATE LIFE!

ABOUT ME

Me... I am mixture of opposites...
I am a creature of habits and find comfort in knowing what is next... yet I love to try new things and see how it turns out...
I love to spend time with people... yet I love time by myself to reflect on life...
I live by my planner... yet the thrill of sponteneity is addicting!
I'm an introvert... yet I'm an extrovert... can one person be both???
I fear the unknown... yet the unknown helps me feel alive!

PHILOSOPHY

Each day is an opportunity to make a difference! Smile at someone you don't know and watch their response... People are interesting! Talk to people you encounter in your daily life. Give them a piece of you to remember, just remember to make it a positive piece!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Jamaica once to meet a friend who ended up being detained... His family picked me up from the airport and I stayed with them for a week... My friend never made it, but the week was great! They were great!
I stayed with family/friends in Sweden.
I stayed with Spanish speaking families in Mexico (in Guadalajara, Mazatlan and on out weekend trip to Puerto Vallarta)
Staying with someone who if from where I am traveling is incredible! It usually makes for a much better cultural experience!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Anything except Horror... I'm too much of a baby and startle to easily!!!
Music - Most everything... My collection is hip hop, R&B, pop, easy listening, oldies, country, jazz, classical, and latin...
Books - Spirtual Books that get me in touch with 'who I am'... I am ever evolving... I love to learn, even about me! Traveling assists in that process...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The ocean... One of God's truely amazing creations! It's amazing to me! It's power, it's life, it's perspective... I don't know that there is anything that has brought me more peace!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to try anything once... ok, maybe twice! I love adventure, I love the unnknown, I love to learn, and I love to listen to people talk and share their perspectives on life... We can learn many things if we take the time and simply listen...
