CURRENT MISSION

To share culturally enriching experiences with new and old friends.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent PhD graduate of Industrial/Organizational Psychology and business consultant. When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, baking, rock climbing, snowboarding, board games, singing, dancing, going to shows/concerts/musicals/movies, camping, hiking, etc. My friends call me a people connector--I love sharing my friends with each other and helping create new connections!

PHILOSOPHY

In everything I do, I try to keep in mind what my personal mission and core values are, because there should be an alignment between what I say I believe, and how I act. It's tough trying to be your ideal, but the most important thing is to know what you believe, and live with conviction and action.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best experiences, I do believe, are where you surf with a host who's willing to come along with you and show ya the sights and city from his/her expert perspective. Nothin' better than having your personal tour guide give you the ins and outs of what to do or see. When people surf on my couch, I try to provide similar experiences to what I know I would enjoy.
