CURRENT MISSION

Live a little.

ABOUT ME

I'm very curious and honest which often makes for great conversation. I've been very contemplative and in my own head a lot since traveling alone, so it is thrilling for me to meet new people and learn their stories. I'm not sure what my next step in life is, but I know that if I'm traveling, I'll always be learning. Although my friends would identify me as independent, I know that community is integral to who I am. I have been raised by a village since I was a child and I want to continue to learn from you and the global community in any way that I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I live with the goal of trying to make everyone around me recognize their amazing value.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't own my own space yet, so I'm just surfing for now. I look forward to sharing with travelers once I have a home base.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only heard great things about Couchsurfing, so now I want to try and make connections this way myself.

Interests

I like playing the viola and volleyball. I enjoy the more chill side of hanging-out. My favorite reasons for travel are having informative and/or funny conversations, seeing beautiful scenery and appreciating the art of a new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm amazed at the simple things in life.
I've done some wild traveling like hitchhiking and mountain hiking in Northern Brasil which I definitely enjoyed, but the moments in which I feel most alive, I'm just hanging out in nature:

Roof top red wine and star-gazing in Thailand.

Staying up in New Orleans talking to strangers until 5am.

Bonfire on the beach waiting for the eclipse viewing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy language exchange.
