About Me

ABOUT ME

Fun, always smiling, up for anything. Your typical girl who's looking to enjoy life, meet a ton of interesting people and have a hell of a time doing it. Whenever there's a chance for me to, I try and travel and see interesting stuff. Whether it's travelling up the east coast for a week before college begins or stopping off in London for a night because I can, I love exploring new places. I guess my friends would say I'm not afraid to try things. One thing I find difficult though? writing these personal description things. I'm never sure what to say, so if you have any questions, ask away and I'll let you know the answer. I hope that something caught your eye though and that maybe I'll get to meet someone of you guys soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life. Try things that scare you. Don't let things get you down. Alles Komt Goed - Everything Will Be Alright.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just moved to the Raleigh area and am interested in meeting new people and possibly hosting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled up to Burlington for my Spring Break and couchsurfed my whole time up there. It was a great and wonderful initiation into the world of couchsurfing. I met amazing people and I learnt something different and new from each and every one of them. I cannot wait to continue on this journey I have started and to meet more people who will be able to teach me interesting things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending three days in the woods with three good friends, walking around without a care in the world, cooking dinner for strangers, having a long conversation with them and then never seeing them again. Those are the moments I love. Meeting someone but feeling no obligation to keep in contact but just having been able to connect with a fellow traveler. But knowing that there's the option to stay friends as well if that's what you want.
