About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To smile, laugh, and enjoy

ABOUT ME

"Having friends is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it but only you can feel the warmth" I think this joke/saying sums me up pretty well. How you ask? Let me tell you: a) I love making new friends and connections, I am definitely a people person. b) I love to laugh! I am goofy and outgoing and try to stay positive as much as possible. On top of this, I love adventure. Whether that means meeting different people, exploring a city, or going climbing, I love it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed once in Spain and it was fantastic! My host was really fun and we enjoyed some delicious tapas together. I've also hosted and met up with many amazing people while they were visiting Zion National Park! Some of my experiences have included sharing my first viewing of Wayne's World and taking couch surfers canyoneering. All have been so much fun!
