About Me

CURRENT MISSION

soaking up knowledge like a sponge

ABOUT ME

A coffee-sipping, gregarious gal from the good 'ol Pacific Northwest. Great conversationalist, critical thinker, and generous hostess. Strong appreciation for world cultures and religions and always looking for an opportunity to stretch my mind and challenge myself to grow.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a single file line.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent 6 weeks backpacking across Europe and couchsurfing was the best part of the whole trip. I couchsurfed in Denmark, Prague, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The people who I stayed with were so warm and generous and it was a privilege meeting each person.

How do I even begin to describe some of my experiences? Basically, I am amazed with how hospitable everyone has been. For goodness sakes, I walk into their home and 30 seconds later they hand me a set of keys, do my laundry, and cook me dinner. I think the best part of this whole things is just talking with the people you stay with. I have had some amazing conversations about politics, culture, and just everyday quirky stories.

Interests

photography, spending time with friends and family, conversing over a cup of coffee, reading, hiking, studying, traveling, cooking, and listening to music.
