CURRENT MISSION

I'm a simple girl trying to understand a complicated world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple girl from Alaska. Naturally, as soon as I could I escaped to Hawaii. The university I attended had students from over 70 countries around the world. The urge to travel has stemmed from meeting my international classmates and wanting to better understand them and where they come from.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding. -Albert Einstein

Everyone deserves to be happy. It's the one thing that no one can ever take from another individual.

We can learn and benefit from everyone around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm available to host, just give me a few days notice and you're welcome to crash at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was on a long layover from Seattle to Hawaii. It was on a Sunday and previously I had planned to crash in the airport. Upon arriving I decided I wanted to go to church. After calling a random chapel I quickly had a ride to their services, and then a couch for the night. I was shocked by the hospitality, but since then have been looking forward to similar experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in people. Why we make the decisions we do. How people choose to be happy, and what gives them enjoyment.
