About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to follow my heart, my passions, my art, and anything that makes me feel alive. I want to travel the world, and make art, and live a full, adventurous life. I want to live life in the NOW and meet amazing folks along the way.

ABOUT ME

I am a vibrant human in my early thirties. I am an artist, professional cuddler, and childcare provider in Seattle, Wa. My partner, Drew, who I travel with a lot, is a software engineer, who loves partner dancing (especially salsa), and likes to juggle. We both enjoy connecting with people who have been a part of our lives for a long time but also love connecting with new people a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life honestly, compassionately and courageously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mostly participated in Couchsurfing as a traveler. I would love to someday welcome travelers into my home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago, I used Couchsurfing for my explorations in the Southern United States. I met lovely people and am looking forward to meeting other people around the world.

Interests

I am interested in art and music. Travel and adventure. I am interested in humans and sharing stories and connecting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing that I have done that is really amazing is to create adventures at home. I learn from places that I go and try to incorporate aspects of those things in to my life. Even if it is just in my attitude and personality.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lived through a lot of things and have a lot to learn. I think sharing stories hostly and compassionately is a really great way learn and teach each other. I can share my personal stories of growth. I want to learn how others live their lives as well. I love learning how we are all alike as humans and how we are all different.
