ABOUT ME

Ok, time for an update! So I graduated college last year,(many years ago now) went to South Korea for a summer teaching experience that was amazing and inspired me to look for other places in the world to continue this adventure. I'm fun, friendly, open to new experiences, travels, adventures. I try to travel as often as possible and I am looking forward to meeting many new, interesting and exciting people.
UPDATE 7/20/14 Finished my masters in TESOL and accepted an opportunity to teach in Qatar! I will be moving in August and living in Doha for the next year. Hope to meet many new travelers from around the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Love and gratitude. Be here now. Be aware of the present and not dwell on the past or future. This, too, shall pass. Consciousness is non physical in origin and survives the death of the body. CULTure=cult! Find out who you are meant to be! Your life has a contract with the universe. It is your mission to discover what it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and surfed around the world!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed my way around South Korea with other friends. We had an amazing experience and I am hoping for round two in Europe to be even better! Story continued...Yes couch surfing in Europe has been amazing and I love every minute of it! The people, the places, the food! So many great experiences, thats why I am addicted! It's about the people and the experiences that you share together that create a better understanding of ourselves, each other, and the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Focus on the positive. Whenever you are scared, maybe even a little, find something that you can appreciate. Change is what gets us to where we want to be!

Stop investing yourself with people who are unavailable.

If you want to know how you really feel, write it down. Writing is the most honest expression of your true feelings.

Goals need deadlines! Without deadlines, they are only dreams...

What I Can Share with Hosts

A laugh, smile, high five, hug, my mind, yoga session, create a meal together, explore and learn together...What more could you want? ;)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, China, Germany, North Korea, Poland, Qatar, Russian Federation, Sweden
