About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To connect with you!

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, yet a planner at times. Thoughtful, but impulsive. Always curious to try new things/places.
I like the mysteries of life.

I was laid off from my job recently and so I'm presently unemployed. What a great time to travel and couch surf and host as well!

I'm new to CS but reading about other's experiences on here reminds me of my host family experiences when studying abroad which I loved and wish I could "study abroad" in more places. I'm fascinated with culture, languages, and people. I tell everyone to take advantage of studying abroad because you can't be the same person when you get back (in a good meaning way).

PHILOSOPHY

We're all in this together.
