I have been traveling the world off and on for almost a decade now, I am at 41 countries and planning on adding several more next year! I absolutely love experiencing new cultures and meeting new people! I am a therapist that works virtually so this gives me the flexibility to travel and work at the same time.

I love museums (mainly history) and reading books (mainly fantasy), I can also be an adrenaline junkie that loves bungee jumping, paragliding, or jumping off bridges. I really like to dance, especially salsa and bachata. If I could dance 24/7 I would! I also worked at many different coffee shops through my school years and really enjoying a good cup of coffee, either with a good book or good conversation. I really love deep conversations and will happily talk for hours about lots of different subjects, travel stories, or my area of professional exterpise - religious trauma.

I am passionate about social work and counseling, and love being able to make a positive impact on someone's life. I have found that my traveling experiences have helped me to learn about people and the different views that people have and the different ways that we work, and this has helped me in my area of work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To backpack my way around the world and meet locals everywhere I go! It is always nicer to stay with people that live in the city you are visiting, and it is always nice to make new international friends!
