* I am 19 and traveled over 20 countries. My family has been traveling since I was very young and have lived from the United States all the way to South Africa. Traveling and meeting new people has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
* I love adventure and trying new things. In South Africa it was not uncommon for my family and I to take week long trips into the savannah in the back of our Jeep! Traveling has been a core part of my life since i was very young and wouldn't change a thing
*In Highschool I was on Dive team, Varsity track, and love to longboard!!
*Right now I am actually starting my own online business in order to make traveling a lifestyle instead of just a vacation. I sell sunglasses and travel equipment for people who love to travel [maybe I could give you a steep discount ;) ]
*I am traveling all around ready and I'm ready for anything and anyone we might meet.
*One thing I almost forgot! I am also filming my way around Europe! I love to make travel videos and capture the moment of travel. Videography and cinemotography are passions of mine and i wish to pursue that i the future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first and foremost reason I am on couchsurfing is as a 19 year old I am trying to cut costs and travel for longer as housing is my highest cost at this point. But that does not even scratch the surface of why I am doing this! I have heard so many cool stories of people they have met while couchsurfing in Europe and I just KNEW that i needed to try it out for myself!

For me (can I be honest?), I would rather talk to a local in a place I stay, have a nice dinner and learn about the culture in that area over going to a bar and getting wasted. I do love to have fun and bars and clubs are fun at certain times, but sometimes I like to just enjoy the night with some new interesting people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I actually started my own service business this summer and made over $20,000 with my partner this past summer! It was really cool to actually create something myself and I am really proud of how we did it. It was a powerwashing and staining company for decks and fences (we basically cleaned the deck/fence then painted over it). This was my first business of hopefully many more I will start in the future!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to dive if you have a swimming pool. Or a standing backflip if your daring enough.
I would love to learn how to live in whichever country I am in at the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences of traveling for already over 3 weeks! My experiences of growing up in South Africa with my parents traveling just about every year. I can also share just the inspiration I have to go out and travel this amazing world!
