CURRENT MISSION

have dreams so big that they scare me.

ABOUT ME

I'm a laugher. I might not always talk a ton, but if something's funny I'll laugh, tears will come, and all that will lead to snorting. It's good fun. And once I have one or two (or six) cups of coffee in me, who knows what will happen. In my more introverted state, I'm an analyst. I like to think about things. Maybe deep, philosophical things... maybe the best way to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So, maybe I'm a little odd... we'll say "quirky"... but, let's be honest, those are the most interesting people. :]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went on a trip couchsurfing through Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Linz, Budapest, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Venice, Bologna, and Rome. Best experience of my life!

Interests

COFFEE! I love to make it, drink it, smell it, hold it, and whatever else you can think to do with coffee. TREE CLIMBING! I dare you to try to climb higher than me. TRAVELING! Seeing new people, places, and cultures is so exciting to me. ULTIMATE FRISBEE! Even though I broke my hand in a tournament, I came back to it with spunk. READING! And especially the combination of reading and coffee. Always open to book suggestions. ADVENTURES! Whether it's scaling a mountain or seeing what's down yonder, I love to see and do new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love reading, so telling you all of the ones that I like would take a really long time. My all time favorite would have to be The Giver. If you've never read it, you should. Also, I'm always looking for recommendations- please and thank you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ziplining through the rainforest in Costa Rica was AMAZING! A mix of a total adrenaline rush and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

And there are so many things to share! When we get together I'll whip out my photo album and give you stories galore! Just wait til you hear all the places my big orange backpack named Garfield has been.
