About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am one of those people that have FAR too many goals. Related to couchsurfing, I will be traveling to Germany in July of 2022 and looking for a host in Munich and in nearby areas. I will spend a week there to explore different areas in hope to move and study there in 2023. I will spend a week there before traveling west to backpack along the Swish alps for 8 days. Please feel free to reach out with any questions if you might be willing to able to help me find a couch to crash on! Thank you!

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and enjoy a good time! That being said, my description of a good time is really broad, generally I just go with what my friends want to do, and I'm always up for trying something new, or exploring; So couch surfing is amazing to me, because I get to have fun in new ways with new people!

I strongly believe in Doing to others as you would have them do to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently renting somewhere, but they are open to the idea of a couchsurfer sometimes :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed, have yet to host as I have not had a place of my own to host yet. While living in Europe I used couchsurfing often! My mother and I had the pleasure of staying with some really amazing people in Prague, Italian alps, Bulgaria, ect. I've loved the times I've couch-surfed! Though, usually I find connections other ways. But Love meeting the new people and they are always so kind and helping!

Interests

I love all new experiences that allow my to explore and learn. I spend most my freetime enjoying traveling, pickleball, tennis, snowboarding, hiking, Sports, cars, anything fast, dogs, volunteering, anything with a engine to help me have fun, wake-boarding, music, reading, clothes, anything really!

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything but horror, unless I have lots of blankets during and a Disney movie after :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No idea where to start. My dad is a missionary who travels the world to build Ropes Courses and games to bring people together. I have got to travel with him, along with travel on my own, and nothing could be better then those experiences! I have been to over 24 countries, enjoying hiking, exploring and meeting new people all over.

I will say my 11 mile hike threw the Amazon rain forest is most likely one memory I will never forget! Slipping and falling, snakes, beautiful hidden castles, then a wonderful island boat ride earned at the end.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to teach pickleball or tennis to anyone anytime! Would love to learn German, but so far I am no good at it. I would love to eventually share my apartment to visitors, but currently am in the moving process and unable to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Eventually our place will be in Bothell Washington outside of Seattle. we have a wonderful air mattress and doggo to cuddle you and awesome amenities. We are in the moving process but will be able to host once we are moved :)
