About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the most out of life.

ABOUT ME

Note: I don't consistently have internet so please do not depend on a fast response. Also, I'm having trouble updating my location from my phone but soon my new place will be verified too.

I recently moved into Manhattan and I love it here. I'm a huge fan of the city and try to do as much as possible. I especially love going to restaurants because I love being able to recommend the best places and the best dishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only hosted so far but need to plan to couch surf soon! (or not plan, and need to learn to be spontaneous.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only hosted so far in Norfolk, Virginia. I hosted a total of 10 people (no more than 8 at a time) during the Norfolk invasion. I re-hosted one of my guests from the invasion shortly after. I've met travelers for lunch in Virginia.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'd never make it as a movie critic. I love most movies, even the cheesy predictable ones. Not a huge fan of scary movies, but I'll watch them behind covered eyes. Comedies and chick flicks are probably my favorite.

Alright, so at first at put that I like all types of music. Since that's a bad answer I'll say this: Generally, I could listen to anything in moderation. I know a lot of music from a bunch of genres. Here's the thing.. I can't discuss music on any level. I really wish I could actually, but for some reason I can't. It's a shame. It's odd because I'll sing along to a TON of music. But truth be told, I probably don't know the name of the song, I probably can't tell you who is playing or singing. And to be really honest, I probably don't know most of the real lyrics. BUT.. I love music and can't live without it. Whether that makes any sense is your call.

I LOVE to read. A few recents/favorites: Eat, Pray, Love; Blink; The Tipping Point; Into The Wild, The Lucky One, Me Talk Pretty One Day, The Other Side of The Bridge, P.S. I Love You, The Slow Moon, In Her Shoes, Trading Up, Sunday's at Tiffanys, Leftovers, The Choice, Secrets of the Model Dorm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
