ABOUT ME

I'm a little girl with a big heart<3. I'm 22, and over the last few years I've learned exactly how to take the wheel and drive this car called life, instead of being just a passenger. I have friends all over the world. I took my first international trip (to Canada) in highschool, and loved it. My second trip was in 2009 to Belgium, visiting a friend, and another trip was this past summer for a month. Yeah, I like to travel. I'm ready to move somewhere I've never been and do things I've never done.

I work with kids... and they're amazing. A few even call me mom. This, however, isn't what my degree is in. I have an accounting degree I have yet to use..

I've loved, been loved, ruined love, and saved love. I enjoy reading.. Audrey Niffenegger is my favorite writer. I love art, analyzing and trying to paint.. my favorite artist is Rene Magritte. I like going out to dance and party, but I don't go that often.

Last--- but not the least, I laugh. A lot.

PHILOSOPHY

-Live and let live

- The lesson life gives you is never complete

-French quote: Apres la pluie, le beau temps

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In any way possible. I've surfed, fellow surfed, but haven't hosted yet. Not many people wanna make their way up to Laurel, DE (although it is the Watermelon Capital).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best friend and I recently went on a month long excursion around Europe, and we couchsurfed the entire time... only getting a place 5 out of 30 nights. It was amazing, definitely an experience.. some were good, some were bad.. but it is the type of experience that teaches you even more about a culture than just traveling there.
