Recently relocated stateside after living, working and traveling abroad since August 2011. Born and raised in Indialantic, FL a tiny suburb of Melbourne, FL, but have spent the last almost three years living in Melbourne, Australia... Spent a few years in Vegas working in special events and exploring the beautiful desert and canyon lands of the USA (they're stunning, you should go), left Vegas on a whim to go out and explore, study, learn and experience more. Spent four months in Costa Rica studying massage therapy, then left USA permanently in April 2012 on a one way ticket to Thailand, haven't looked back since! Absolutely LOVED living in Melbourne, Australia but recently moved to Washington DC to spend more time with my Grandmother and see more of my native country.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Great way to meet friendly, local and like minded people and travelers. I love having a more genuine experience. I don't need to "tick any boxes" - when I visit somewhere new I want to experience more than just the typical tourist destinations. I love meeting new people, hearing other traveller's stories and adventures and sharing good conversation and hearty laughs.
Music, Movies, and Books
enjoy most types of music with the exception of heavy/death metal... have made an honest effort to learn to appreciate it, but I just haven't yet! Favourite movie is 'The Legend of Billie Jean' FAIR IS FAIR! again have a wide taste in movies and books! I consider myself pretty open minded, although I have a hard time enjoying horror flicks...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Booked a one way ticket to Thailand with not much money and no itinerary, best thing I have ever done :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share lots of funny stories from my adventures, but I'm also a great listener for when you want to share yours!
My Interests
traveling, reading, sleeping in the sunshine (does that count?!), hiking, wake-boarding, camping, finding the best ice cream spot in every city I visit, eating ice cream, spending time with those I love, working hard
