ABOUT ME

A lot of people call me one of the artsy- fartsy types. I love the feeling of inspiration and the breath of fresh air as you turn that energy into a creative output.

For most of my life I have been a quiet shy type but now I find myself out of my shell and excited to go on an adventure out of my small town.

PHILOSOPHY

I have always believe that if i'm good to people and cared for them that it would bring good things back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to surf and then host. I strongly believe in the philosophy of community and sharing each others experience. I plan to help out wherever people need it :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my old apartment my housemate was a host. It was one of the best experiences I had. Just being able to talk with people of all diversities and share life stories.
