About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning, loving, living!

ABOUT ME

I love learning. About anything and everything I can. I love smart people who can teach me something new!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to learn and grow. School is only one way to learn. Traveling can teach you so much a book can't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couch surfed, now I am looking to return the favor by hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My cousin and I couch surfed across Europe in 2008. I can't write all the stories down here, but it was the most surreal thing I have ever done!

I like to host people who are visiting Houston and am just blown away by the amazing people I have met through this site.

Interests

I spend most of my free time volunteering. I like to knit. I listen to audio books or watch Disney constantly. The best times with my friends are spent watching terrible movies eating delicious foods.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done recently was biking around Green Island in Taiwan. It was so difficult to keep going and get up the next hill, and the next, and the next, but totally worth it to finally make it to see the Sleeping Beauty Rock Hou Shan Pi before relaxing in the hot saltwater springs!
