CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my travels and not get fat while devouring local foods!!

ABOUT ME

I am a 33 year old down to earth gal, who enjoys traveling! I also am now a Dive Master and think the underwater world is absolutely amazing, yet very vulnerable to being destroyed completely in the next 50 years. I am hoping to join an Ocean Reef conservation organization when I get to Hawaii in October.

I love animals, and while I am traveling my mom is caring for my German Shepherd, I miss her A lot and would love to meet your pets, I like all animals even snakes!

I am very outgoing and make friends anywhere I go, I enjoy talking with new people and hearing about their lives in their country! Exploring with locals is the best vacation I could ever ask for!

Also I am a NON smoker.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is their own person, and I try to live by never judging someone for what they look like, who or what they love and being a kind friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this site, and am starting to travel in September, so don't have a couch right now. I will be in Hawaii in late October and when I do find a house, I will for sure have a couch available!!

I find something truly amazing in every city I have visited, and am thankful that I have enriched my life by visiting so many other cultures.
