About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had wonderful experiences couchsurfing in the past -- I confess I haven't used this website in years but I'm excited to get involved again!
Some of my dearest friendships have been made through couchsurfing. I hosted several travelers when I lived in the Greek Islands years ago and also enjoyed being hosted on a road trip across the U.S. awhile ago!
This is a great community!

Interests

I love taking portraits, writing, meeting new people, and spending time outdoors. I need the sunshine and would be on the beach every day if I could! I love to hear other people's stories, get to know new cultures, try new things, and laugh hysterically.

I lived in a tent in some Byzantine ruins on the island of Crete with a group of magical, misfit travelers. It was one of the best times in my life :)
