CURRENT MISSION

To be an exceptional host to those currently traveling and grateful to hear their experiences. One day I will travel more and see this big ball we call Earth - What better way than to meet/share life with some people while doing so.

MYSELF

Couchsurfing has provided a great way to meet new people and listen to who they are or where they are coming from. I love hearing their stories. About me? Well, i think my friends would say funny, kind, selfless, athletic/sporty, excellent cook, healthy, upbeat. I would say that I'm outdoorsy, a book lover, klutz, vegetarian, dog lover and go-getter. And my mom would say ... fearless, beautiful and stubborn. :)

PHILOSOPHY

God has shown me amazing love in the midst of some serious trials, losses and letdowns. I live to show that same kind of love and compassion toward others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Feeling comfortable with intermediate :)

Interests

I love to cook for myself and others, so a good meal, a good wine and good friends make life sweeter. I'm an avid runner (5Ks, 10Ks and 1/2 marathons). I love exploring new things, whether it's food, music or an unmarked trail :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. The Black Forest, Germany. It's surreal, untouched and nature's playground for a kid growing up an Army brat and living abroad.
2. Bayshore 1/2 marathon, Traverse City, Mich. We get dropped off on the peninsula and run back inland. It's a gorgeous way to burn 13.1 miles.
