About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and make people smile!

ABOUT ME

I laugh a lot, I'm night-blind, extremely competitive, and I LOVE TRAVELING!

I live with my best friend, Tyo. He's Indonesian and would love to share his culture with you! We are very open-minded, always laughing, and we will definitely be eating lots of Indonesian food while you're here! 😊

With my workload at school I will not be very fun during the week (meaning i won't be going out for drinks during the week! Hungover teacher = bad teacher 🤣) but would love to take people out on the weekends! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be in; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." -Martha Washington

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people when I go to new countries.

I love sharing my home when possible. I know what it's like to travel on a budget! US universities are $$$$$$$$.

Interests

I love any sort of social activity. I love spending my time at the bar singing (poorly) and dancing (imagine a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man) with my friends.

  • singing
  • dancing
  • traveling
  • cliff jumping

Music, Movies, and Books

Pulp Fiction, Classic Rock, any funny book!
