My name is Hope and I really love people. I love to laugh and make memories, but there is so much more to me than that. I am a deep thinker that always want to learn more. I love observing people and learning from others. I am extremely interested in culture and trying new things and discovering great opportunities and new likes. I love meeting new people and love to create connections. I am seeking to start my life full-throttle based on my dreams, goals, and aspirations. I have heard that traveling is good for the soul and I want to experience life with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am Couchsurfing because I want to travel the world. I want to see places I've never seen and meet people of different cultures, regions, and history. I want to learn more about the world and the beautiful people that it inhibits.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to EDM music (Chainsmokers, Marshmallo, Flume, Hippie Sabotage, Diplo, Bauer, Major Lazor) as well as indie alternative (1975, Borns, Charli XCX, Mumford and Sons, XXYYXX, etc). It just depends on my mood on what I want to listen to. I also am a contemporary girl (meaning coffeehouse music such as George Ezra, Phillip Phillips, and Vance Joy, etc.) Overall, I could talk about music any day of the week for hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to the Dominican Republic for a missions trip which was life-changing. I have been to two music festivals which was Lollapalooza and Electric Forest. I just created a website for my photography.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my story because I have been through a lot in my life. I am pretty much an open person that loves to help others. I really love to give people advice and wisdom and a sense of free spirit if they are willing to except it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lovely time with deep conversations and friendship. I hope to make connections as I start to travel the world and through the United States. I am up for anything and a go-with-the-flow type of person. Spontaneity and adventurous.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Dominican Republic
