About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore. Learn. Experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm obsessed with traveling and I find nothing wrong with that. I have traveled to 17 countries thus far in my life and I don't plan on slowing down my adventures any time soon!

I studied abroad in Spain and had the chance to explore Europe, meet a lot of new people, and expand my love of other cultures. I love all sports, trying new things, being outdoors, and just having a good time in general!

I'm now happy to share my experiences with my wonderful boyfriend Troy who thankfully shares a love of discovery and adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not one for words but these quotes sum up my outlook on life:

"€œNever regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience."

" Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do."

"As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do. "

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is fantastic!! I have couchsurfed in Germany, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. I've also attended couchsurfing events in Sweden, France, and the Netherlands. I'm happy to say I have encouraged friends to join the couchsurfing community, where they have had wonderful experiences as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have favorites, I like most of everything and am open to watch, listen, and read anything new.

But, to try to give you an idea of who I am, here are a few of my favorites:

TV Shows/Channels- Bones, Friends, Pysch, How I Met your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, NatGeo, Discovery Channel

Movies- Inception, Blide Side, Remember the Titans, The Notebook, All Disney Movies <3, Harry Potter, normally anything in action, comedy, or an actually good chick flick. Although horror scares the crap out of me, I enjoy a good jump or two.

Books- Yes- I do love Harry Potter- I don't mind admitting that I have an open imagination with the adventure of an adult and a heart of a child. I also love mystery novels. Lately I have been reading books that have been suggested to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel like I do not have enough room to talk about all the amazing things I've been blessed to see an do during my short life. I served as a translator on a missions trip to Honduras which was one of the most beneficial trips of my life, but little adventures on trips like jumping of railroads into a river, whitewater rafting, or meeting random people and spending the day with them or just relaxing in some of the most beautiful places in the world are all things that are amazing to me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn anything new about cultures, lifestyles, and experiences. I also don't mind sharing my culture and the travels and missions trips I've been on. I will say I am much better oral communicator that I am on paper.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom
