CURRENT MISSION

I aim to travel and experience as much as possible, to learn all that I can about the world and other people. I think the best way to do this is to meet people and listen to what they have to say, hear their stories, see their differences and similarities

ABOUT ME
I think I'm very loyal, love to have conversations that go past just surface encounters, I'm shy at first but become more outgoing as my comfort level increases.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live my life in a way that makes me happy, not necessarily rich or successful in the traditional sense. I'm learning not to spend time worrying about things that may or may not happen, because things seem to work out whether you stress about it or not :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I don't foresee living in the same place for more than four months at a time, so for the moment I'll be surfing! But In the future I'd love to host.

Interests

I love cooking, hiking (some hater just told me hiking is not a sport because it's just walking+elevation. We are no longer friends) reading, rock climbing, kayaking, yoga, dancing, people watching and traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Like with food, I'm willing to try anything once. Some favorites, though, are Pulp Fiction, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, LOTR trilogy, most Cormac McCarthy books, The Beatles, Billie holiday, Edith Piaf, black keys eyc etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So my favorite hike wasn't too physically demanding by most standards but it challenged me mentally in a way I hadn't been before. One afternoon I decided to trust a friendly stranger who offered to guide me up a mountain when I was by myself in New Zealand. Best decision ever and one of the coolest experiences in learning to let go of apprehension.

Teach, Learn, Share

willing to teach a little English or cooking skills! Would love to get better at rock climbing, but anything you can share and teach me about your world/local culture would be much appreciated.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe in earning my keep, so let me know how! Whether it's housework or booze, I don't expect to be a mooch.
