Personal DescriptionI am a happy girl, with an open mind and a heart that is fullest when surrounded by friends -- be they new or old.
I love to travel to unfamiliar places and make them feel like home. To learn of other cultures, explore others' beliefs, to meet strangers who immediately turn to friends. To find beauty in each day and purpose in all I do. To greet the world with love. And make my community a better place by making the effort to appreciate all it has and help it acheive all it should.
I'm currently working at a non-profit fair trade store and cultural center in Buffalo... every day brings something ridiculous and wonderful that reminds me of all we can do for eachother. How each person truly can make the world a better place by just believing in themself. How I Participate in CSGiving warm smiles and welcoming arms to any travelers out there, looking to turn strangers into friends!
Helping the Surfers Making Waves news channel here on CS... Contact the channel to share! There's more remarkable people and stories in the community that one could imagine. CouchSurfing ExperienceHave hosted many wonderful surfers here in Buffalo, NY in our very loving and open apartment... I'm continually thrilled by how immediately strangers turn to great friends :)
Have hitchhiked and greeted the wild in Alaska, watched our world change colors in New England, found love and light in Peru, inspiration to act in Ecuador, and will grow with each new shared experience...Interestsmusic, dancing, friends, strangers, traveling, writing, photography, learning, loving, life!Philosophywhile we wander down this road, may we always stop to revel in the sunshine and dance in the rain, hearts and minds open to those we pass along the way.
And from Kahlil Gibran: "Forget not that the earth delights in your bare feet and the winds want to play with your hair." Music, Movies, Books
i love to read, can dance to the rain on my rooftop, and would very much appreciate any form of artistic expression you'd like to share. good books make me feel connected to the world. and music makes me feel alive. just dance!
Types of People I enjoythose with warm hearts and open minds... keeping the funk alive Teach, Learn, Sharei can teach you how to make a kaleidoscope, and i hope how to see the beauty in each day.
i yearn to learn all you know. One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Donesomething amazes me every single day.
