I just graduated from college and like everyone else on this site, I truly belive that traveling is my calling. I am fundamentally a curious person and often find myself deep in cyberspace looking at random points of interest - food, travel, mountains, animals, random facts, and of course my kryptonite political memes (so guilty!) I love discussing heavy issues like social issues BUT I know when those discussions are unwanted and never try to shove that in anyone's face. I am a chameleon in the sense that I adapt to those around me, I am incredibly intuitive and great at making others feel included and welcomed. Foodie alert! I love food and find the chemical reactions it has in our body fascinating. Although I am vegan for health reasons, I try local cuisines that are often not. I feel that food is such an important expression of a culture, it would be crazy to miss our on such an experience. In a nutshell, I am a warm-hearted person who speaks her mind. I am adventurous, and although I love to make plans I welcome spontaneity. I make those around me feel included and comfortable and I would love to make life long memories in your city or in mine.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
I often avoid the "touristy" attractions, I like to think I create my own path. Although my path may have yet to be created, I find it to be most rich when it intersects with positive people around me. I believe every person has a lesson to share and story worth listening to. I want intimate experiences with every place I travel and with the people I meet along the way or host. I believe each city has a special light and if I am able to see that through the eyes of someone else I would feel truly blessed. If I am able to show that to guests I would feel truly proud.
Muzyka, filmy i książki
I love Odesza, Eryka Badu, Bonobo, and Sinead Harnett to name a few. I love soul music, smooth jazz, house, and some trap. Sorry hardstyle fans, you will not find one here :P
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
Skied the Swiss Alps in a full on blizzard White Water Rafting in Payette Idaho Was in a fashion film - "Native Tongue" Swam in the open ocean off of the Los Angeles coast (I'm terrified of sharks so this was a big deal) Let a bird kiss my mouth (scared of birds, but I swear these are the only animals I have a legitimate fear of lol) Partied with Leslie Benzies and discussed the effects of violent video games on preteens
Co mogę zaoferować Hostom
I absolutely LOVE to cook - I am personally vegan but make great dishes with milk, egg and cheese as well. I make the best salads.
Moje zainteresowania
EXPLORING, hiking, swimming, intellectual discussions, dancing, skiing, snowshoeing, animals (horses and dogs primarily). In a nutshell - I love understanding the world from different points of view and seeing how different groups of people live their lives.
