Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experience took place in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I was blessed with an absolutely incredible host who I am eternally grateful to! (Thank you, Gabriel!) :) All of my hosts to date have been incredibly generous and kind people, who I am so fortunate to have met!

Interests

Reading, learning, drawing, talking, running, walking, mountains, ocean, canoeing, camping, hiking, animals, music, crafts, volunteering, laughing, eating! :)
I am in love with the outdoors- and have been since I was a child! Growing up in the countryside was an experience I would not trade for anything. I learned to swim, canoe and kayak at a young age and my happiest memories involve summers at the lake and week-long canoe trips with numerous summer camps. I am on a mission to finish University and get back to my roots!
