About Me

I have a relaxed nature and adventurous spirit. I draw my energy from meeting new people and learning and laughing with them.
I am a lover of all things ocean! I like to be outside/in peaceful places the most. From skiing to hiking to diving.
My friends call me an old soul. I like to think deeply and critically about (almost) everything. However, I am also a jokester with a deeply sarcastic and self deprecating sense of humor and I never take life too seriously!
I often sing to myself without noticing (but you can always tell me to be quiet!). I am unskilled at but in love with surfing, drawing, playing guitar, and dancing. I love live music. I am definitely not scared to make a fool out of myself! I am newly vegan, so this is something I am constantly working on and learning more about..
I like to smile and have a good time!! I can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to find pals from places around the world!! Couchsurfing gives all of us the chance for experiences we wouldn't have otherwise. I am lacking a home base to host at the moment but can't wait to host surfers of my own once I have one!
My first Couchsurfing experience I realized that in my life, I emphasize the importance of human connection over everything, and while I love to travel to learn about history or see beautiful landscapes, the people I meet along the way are always my fondest memories.
