CURRENT MISSION

Continue waking up. Also - play Hacky Sack with more strangers...and get my nursing degree by 2020.

ABOUT ME

Though I can love a city for a while, I will need to escape pretty quickly. I grew up surrounded by nature - though I love how social a city is, they can't beat the experiences I've had outside.

Funny, witty in the right crowd, raunchy in the wrong crowd (guides mainly), silly as often as possible. Kinesthetic - I like to move and express myself through movement.

I love a good conversation, and enjoy the discussion of an idea more so than events, and way more than talking about people. I can talk for hours on anything science/culture/philosophy related.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's not about a free bed. Share, care, and do the dishes :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, my first experience was rather awkward as my host thought couch-surfing was a sex / hook-up site. Not all that fun at the time, definitely fun to talk about now.

Besides that, I've totally lucked out and met some fantastic folks that I wouldn't have ever encountered if I'd just stuck to the usual tourist path.
