CURRENT MISSION

To see the world

ABOUT ME

Began traveling as a child with my family, and soon fell in love. I have now been to 28 countries, and aim to keep adding a country for every year of my life. I'm from the Pacific Northwest, but currently am traveling around Southeast Asia indefinitely.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present moment and see as much of the world as possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A trip to Peru introduced me to the many ways that one can be involved in couchsurfing. I met many couchsurfers, both locals and foreigners, and was introduced to the Lima couchsurfing community, which has regular meetups and language exchanges. What a great group of people! Curious to meet other couchsurfers on my travels around the world.

Interests

First and foremost, travel.
I studied psychology at university, and I also love writing and photography. Other interests include yoga, meditation, music, hiking, running, sailing and boating, art, spanish, and cooking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taught yoga on an island in the Mekong river, spent a month volunteering in Peru, motorbiked around Southern Laos, slept in a treehous in the middle of the jungle, trekked to a Paluang village in the hills of Myanmar, been to Full Moon party in Thailand, and visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Some of my other favorite trips and adventures have been hitchhiking from Edinburgh to Barcelona & Prague, boating in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, and seeing the pyramids of Giza in Cairo.

Teach, Learn, Share

The best way to learn is to travel.
