About Me

I love adventures.

A few years ago I made the decision to never say no to life experiences, where safety wasn't a concern. It could be anything from walking into a party knowing only one person to dropping everything and moving across the world. I don't want to miss an experience or an adventure because I was too scared to take a risk.

Favorite Quote: In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were too scared to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always loved traveling but my favorite thing to do is get off the beaten path when I visit new places. I like to see where the locals live and experience the culture away from the tourist areas. I grew up visiting my grandparents in a little village in England and it was nice to act like a local and live among the locals for a few weeks.

I think the concept of coach surfing is awesome. It's a way to cut back on the costs of traveling but I think it offers much more than money can buy. It's an experience in itself, a unique one at that. It may not be fore everyone but I think it should be something that every traveler should experience. What better way to learn about a country than to stay with a local?!

My hope is that my boyfriend and I can be hosted while in Europe this spring and be able to return the favor one day in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a secret Harry Potter nerd. Although I guess it's not much of a secret once it's on the internet... I have read the books more times than I can count and can probably recite the movies. They never get old. Oh and I can't get myself to stop singing "Dark Lord Funk" a parody of Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" .

Besides random Youtube songs I am also a fan of country music and 80's rock. Journey is a favorite among my friends, but then again who doesn't love some "Don't Stop Believing" !
