CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as possible for as long as I can.

ABOUT ME

When I was younger, I told my friends I had an urge to leave all of my possessions and become homeless for a while. I just thought it would be an incredible experience to free yourself from everything. My friends at the time, all told me I was crazy, and I eventually let the idea go. . . Now, these same friends are the ones who tell me how jealous they are that their not backpacking with me through Europe. Although, now I hear their doubts that a girl shouldn't travel on her own alone. . . .I have learned to ignore the naysayers.
And, just. . .follow me heart and see where my feet take me.

I hope to meet as many people as I can, see as many places as possible, dance to exotic music and eat foreign food for as long as I can.

I just came back from a 6 month trip through Europe and the tip of Africa. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm home in St.Petersburg, Fl. I am always happy to show you around my charming beach town. I live a 10 minute bike ride from the Gulf of Mexico. I would love to bring you to the drum circles on the beach, at sunset on Sundays, the poetry slams at the coffee shop downtown, the om circles at the blueberry patch or/and the Saturday morning Farmers Market.

If I have the time and space, I would love to host you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have made incredible friends through couchsurfing. It has really been a lifesaver and experience maker. It is only through this group would I have been able to meet the amazing Jef (connoisseur of all things Belgian), join in on the festivities of one goth night in Dublin or learn the basics of pole dancing in Madrid.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, reading, dancing, bongo drums, music, laughing, singing off key, movies, concerts, drawing and that inspirational euphoria that happens after you've just had a design breakthrough.
