CURRENT MISSION

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air… -Ralph Waldo Emerson

ABOUT ME

I drink like a sailor, cook and clean like a 1950s housewife, drive my stickshift barefoot, laugh a lot, love my family and friends, spend money on things I shouldn't and travel at any chance I get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the CS project and I think it is fabulous! I plan on participating in CS while in Europe this summer and will hopefully be able to host people at my home in the future.
