CURRENT MISSION

"This little Light of mine: I'm gonna let it SHINE."

ABOUT ME

I am a traveling perpetuator of peace. About five years ago, I said goodbye to my high-stress career, and hello to a life of actually pursuing my passions. I have been traveling ever since, with a few stops along the way; teaching, learning, growing...

I am currently on a journey that is taking me all over the country. Where to next?

PHILOSOPHY

"Everything I have learned in life can be summed up in three words: It goes on."- Robert Frost

I want to try to love as many people as I can for as long as I can.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to welcome people into my home as often as I can, and meet fellow surfers in my travels. Now, I plan on getting back into the surfing life and seeing how many incredible connections I can make.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had so many amazing experiences with CS. I have had hosts in Ohio, Illinois, and NYC and am constantly opening my home to new friends. Had you told me I would be inviting strangers into my home a few years ago, I would have told you that you were crazy, but CS has opened my heart and changed my life.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

While on a trip to Hermosa Beach, CA I swam with a pod of dolphins in the open sea. It was one of the most surreal experiences of my life!

教，学，和分享

The greatest thing I've ever learned is just to love and be loved in return....

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I will be happy to give your home a good cleaning, cook you some delicious meals, share stories, play you a song, give you a massage (I used to be licensed but let it lapse), and help you out in any way I can. Living in service is what I love to do. I like CS the most when we can give to each other!
