ABOUT ME

I'm an American girl, living in Brussels. I have a great network of friends here, but I am looking to travel some more, so why not meet some more people?

I'm a tidy person, but I'm also very laid back, and I get along with everyone. If you send me a message, please tell me what your favorite kind of food is. I do not currently have space in my apartment to host overnight stays, but am happy to meet up with travelers to take on the city! I have a full-time job, so am only available to meet up on evenings and weekends.

PHILOSOPHY

"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky, all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it." Cesare Pavese

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to just about everything. I have lots of upcoming travel, so I will hopefully get some surfing experience, but when I'm in Bruxelles I'm happy to meet up or attend events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few times while I lived in Prague, and I've met a lot of other travelers who have had great CS experiences.

Zainteresowania

I have a lot of interests, and they vary depending on my mood. I have a dachshund who us currently living in the US until I move his here, so dogs are definitely at the top of my list. I like reading, painting, photography, pretty much any sport (participating or watching), dancing, drinking, and sarcasm.

Muzyka, filmy i książki

A few good reads: Into Thin Air, A Voyage for Madmen, Invisible Monsters, Lolita, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Music: I really like everything. I grew up on Rock and Roll, Jazz, and Classical music, developed my own taste for rap and hip-hop, survived country music in Texas and Oklahoma.
