CURRENT MISSION

I want to see as much of Europe as I can in 7 months!

ABOUT ME

I'm living in the Netherlands right now as an au pair, I'll only be here a few more months and then I'm going back to the US to live. I'm very new to couchsurfing, and have only had one experience staying with someone and it was strange....thus my lack of friends/references.

I don't like writing about myself.....but I'm affable, optimistic with a definite cynical side and I'm a little too idealistic at times. I enjoy the company of others but I could also spend the entire day alone and be completely content.

I like good beer, wine and food. I don't "party" too much but I do like to drink and have fun. I love exploring new cultures and sampling local cuisine. I used to be obsessed with Anthony Bourdain.

PHILOSOPHY

It'll happen if it's meant to be. And karma.
