****I am really bad at planning I'm so sorry!! Was really ambitious with how this europe trip would go but I keep getting caught up in the moments and staying longer than intended in places. I'm really sorry if I'm not responsive, not often on my phone but trying to get better about my media use****

I want to be a sponge for the beauty in the world and magic of the universe, living fully and in the moment; to evoke passion in my life and the lives of others, and strive toward being the best version of me! That is my outlook on life☺ Born in Hawaii and raised a navy brat moving from state to state, I am currently a waitress in the US National Parks and an artist/avid adventurer in my spare time. I like to spend time exploring but also enjoy quiet moments to paint and write in my journal. I am very excited to be travelling Europe for my first time and can't wait for all the new experiences and people I will meet:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time traveling to another continent and I am very excited to meet new people and experience different cultures and places. I had tightly budgeted my trip for staying in hostels but hope to save some money and perhaps get some recommendations of things to see or do by couchsurfing. I am so grateful to live in an age where this service is available!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived and worked in Glacier National Park, MT USA, I jumped off a 30ft cliff every day and watched black bears eat berries as I swam

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking healthy and delicious food! Bringing the tastebuds pleasure is a pleasure in itself:)

Mostly though I think I can share stories, happiness, peace and a positive outlook on life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a perpetual smile, calm demeanor, and look for the beauty in everything
