About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn! Learn through my work, through the people I meet, through my travels.

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, open-minded, and motivated person. I do my best to stay active and adventurous, and I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I make a big effort to travel and hope to spend my life exploring new places and visiting familiar places with a new perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

Dance like nobody is watching. Be kind and trust that others are kind as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed with a friend on a cross-country road trip from San Diego to New York and I absolutely loved it. I later couchsurfed in Peru and Argentina, and those experiences made my trip that much more memorable. I currently don't have space to host, but I look forward to opening my door to surfers in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm always so impressed with how welcoming and generous my hosts have been in the past and how happy they are to give advice or be a tour guide for a day (or three). I've seen beautiful places that I'm sure I wouldn't have seen on my own thanks to hosts that have taken the time to show me around. I think CS is an amazing community that makes strangers quickly feel like family.

Interests

Reading, running, singing, exploring, people watching, dancing (especially tap!), cross-word puzzles, learning, making new friends, and travel travel travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't like listing favorites, I like appreciating a wide variety of things. I read often and always have. I love movies, and am a sucker for all things romantic. I appreciate a lot of different music and tend to stick to things I can relax to or things I can shake it to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Serving in the Peace Corps was one of the most difficult and rewarding things I've ever done. I was outside of my comfort zone on a daily basis, and the whole experience opened my eyes to how small and interconnected the world really is.

Argentina, Australia, Belize, Bolivia, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Tanzania, Thailand, United Kingdom, Vatican City State, Viet Nam
