CURRENT MISSION

Learn ceaselessly, strive endlessly, love selflessly

ABOUT ME

Quirky, driven, adventurous, I love to experience new things--whether that means exploring a new city, trying new foods, or meeting new people. I like to go off the beaten path and find the hidden beauty in all things.

PHILOSOPHY

As a follower of Christ, I live my life to bring honor and glory to Him. I love to spend time exploring His creation, building relationships with all types of people, and getting to know the amazingly diverse cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, being hosted, meeting up with fellow couchsurfers--the whole spectrum!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the joy of hosting people from different parts of the world here in the city I now call home. Pretty soon, I hope to partake in the other side of things (aka couchsurfing).

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Narrows at Mount Zion National Park in Utah was an experience of a lifetime. There is something very humbling about climbing through the bottom of a canyon with the walls towering over you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you what I can--English, music (piano or voice), finance/accounting, dancing, baking, and various arts and crafts. As I already mentioned, I love to learn! I am currently trying to learn French, and I also would love to learn music, dancing, cooking, and many other skills from people of other cultures.
