CURRENT MISSION

To be happy!

ABOUT ME

***Note: when the couchsurfing site changed, for some reason it stopped emailing me when I got CS requests. That is why I have the %75 response rate (also if you contact me at the very last minute) Please disregard that, and don't let it deter you from contacting me for a couch!***

I am basically a small child at heart, who loves acting silly with the kids I nanny and with my friends. I do a lot of babysitting and nannying in my area, and I love every minute of it. I am a singer and a certified "Music Together" teacher currently working on my apprenticeship, while going to school for Early Childhood Education. Outside of nannying and school work, I love to laugh, sing, and am always game for a good round of "Hungry Hungry Hippos".

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that you create your own happiness (to a certain extent) and there's no use in focusing on the bad things in life. How happy you are in life is dependent upon what you make of the things that are thrown at you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurf when I travel, and I like to meet local couchsurfers in my area. I am constantly telling everyone that couchsurfers are the nicest people in the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met so many great people through the couchsurfing project, and I have only just begun. I truly believe in couchsurfing, and what it can do to change your life. I can't wait to continue meeting great people and having life changing experiences along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Singing in choir when I was at Westminster Choir College. Can't completely explain the feeling you get, but it was definitely a very emotional and spiritual one.

Experimenting in Amsterdam. I can tell you more about it when we meet :)
