About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Delay adulthood as long as possible. Explore the world. Don't settle for a 9 to 5

ABOUT ME

I am a 21 year old, 6 feet (1.8 m) female who is trying to become a person who loves adventures. I get intimidated easily by adventures, but every time I embark on one, I realize how much I love it. I love to learn and speak new languages, and am open to new cultures and world views.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply, so that others may simply live. And, to borrow from Hallmark,, dance like nobody's watching

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love politics, but I'm a complete hypocrite and didn't make time to vote last midterm elections. A mistake I'm never making again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a brand new member of couchsurfing, but I've had so many people tell me what an awesome experience it is. Since I've recently moved to Barcelona, I thought, why not now? What a perfect time to join CS!
