CURRENT MISSION

I've just graduated with a degree in Sociology, and a certificate in Women's Studies in Colorado. I constantly want to see more of the world and its wild weird people, gain some understanding and clarity, write and create art until I'm bursting and indulge a spontaneous spirit.
ABOUT ME

I am personable, curious, artistic and positive. I am a very warm and open person. I am always looking for depth, looking to learn, challenge my comforts and push my character.

PHILOSOPHY

Empathy and understanding, endless curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I both host and travel using couchsurfing in the US and abroad a bit. I have a fairly small space now with my two roommates, but anywhere there is a floor, if someone needs to sleep there, I'm happy to have them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed both in the states and in Guatemala, I really love the experience and would enjoy seeing what life is like on the hosting side.

Interests

I love to create, be it art, poetry, jewelry or mismatched crafts. I love both cooking and eating and find sharing a meal with someone to be one of the best vectors for good conversation and friendship. I enjoy exploring the outdoors, and am always game for a walk in the city or a cup of coffee. Bike riding is increasingly important to me. Yoga is a fading need, but still cherished.
