About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am heading off to France and Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago. I'm very excited and nervous!

ABOUT ME

I'm a really friendly, chatty, open person.. I can often be caught up in late-night conversations, or watching random old movies... Love talking to people and learning new things. I love getting into the details and history of things and figuring out how things work. I love doing DIY projects and learning how to fix things and make things, especially homemade soaps, balms and other body or cleaning products.

I am a feminist and interested in LGBTQ rights and issues as well as gender roles.

I'm working on being more vocal and embracing my voice. Also, I'm really interested in learning and doing more meditation.

I'd love to learn languages, I'm not good at them but speaking another language is such a goal of mine.

As a guest, I'm very conscientious, clean and respect other peoples' space. I try to make sure everyone is comfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only really surfed on the couches of friends and family so I'm new to doing it this way. I've heard such enthusiasm and excitement from friends and other travellers that I'm excited to try it myself.
I love meeting new people and travelling around- it's a really nice way to meet new people and see a city!
