About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep the ball rolling in life no matter what direction it goes...not sure what that means...but we'll go with it!

ABOUT ME

I guess what best describes me is that I'm a dreamer. I love to think of adventures if it be through the path of education or work and see if I can make it happen. I hate first dates, the first day of a new class, the first day of a new job, the first day in a new country...however; in the end... I'm addicted to it. What I love is making people laugh and having discussions about saving the world in one night. I love people and one of my favorite hobbies is people watching.

PHILOSOPHY

I can learn something from everyone....and stepping out of my comfort zone is the beginning to learning something amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to the CS2 project, but I'm on here to meet like minded people and support the energy that comes from all our experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My only experience has been meeting travelers who have raved on about this amazing community of people.

Interests

My interests include chatting for hours on end about pretty much anything. I love to explore around Melbourne right now going into as many unique places as possible. I'm hoping to get back into sports, and I'd love to give some of the Aussie sports a go!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am the most easily entertained person in the world, but newspapers have to be my vice when it comes to this category...picking up a paper in another country for the first time is some serious excitement.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm blessed with an amazing family...does that count?

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about past trips....but Cuba is still in my heart and mind as well as the rest of Latin America.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Puerto Rico
