I want to see the world, experience cultures aside from my own, and gain an appreciation for other's walk in life. I believe in being good to others. Beyond that, I simply like to have fun and live outside of the ordinary!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Half of the reason to travel is to meet the locals and experience their culture. Staying in a hotel cuts you off from that chance, plus it is superbly boring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a trail in Gonzaga Bay, Mexico called the Lizard Lady Trail. It curves through fields of cactus and through narrow pathways made out by desert trees and boulders. The trail is rarely ridden by women of my age and experience, and I can definitely understand why. After over 500 miles of learning as I went, the bruises, unrelentingly tensed muscles, and caked on dirt became an honor to wear.

Countries I’ve Visited
