CURRENT MISSION

Traveling is a passion of mine and I love nothing more than meeting new people along the way, only to be reminded of our interconnection that spans across all cultures. From my travels I have come to learn and appreciate that as a visitor, you get the best taste of the location through the eyes of locals. Although I enjoy marveling at the ancient structures and gazing at the crowds of tourists, I take true joy in exploring the less discovered places, the best tasting foods, and the spots only known through word-of-mouth.

ABOUT ME

I find the small things in life to be the most precious. I recently received the book "Oh, The Places You'll Go! By Dr. Seuss" as a gift, and it couldn't have been more fitting. I am open minded and open to spontaneous adventures. Life is an adventure, and I intend to explore.

These past 2 years I have been studying to receive my M.S. in Natural Resources & Environment with a focus on what motivates people to act in a pro-environmental way. I am also an aspiring slack-liner and hand stand junky. Hoping to surf more!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't wait around for something to begin, just trust in yourself and go for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am working 32 hours a week so on the weekends I aspire to travel and explore new places and faces. Although I can get behind solo-trips, having a couch surfing host while seeing a new city seems a lot cooler!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While on a road trip up the east coast of Florida, I surfed in Jacksonville. I had a really positive experience with the host and her dog and would definitely visit her again.

Interests

Puppies, smiles, drum circles, outdoors, OH MY!

Real talk, I am interested in learning. Learning from new people, books, magazines, enemies, friends, and expanding my own perceptions of the world to perhaps reach no perceptions at all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked a steep mountain in Burma with only flip-flops on my feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that the exchange of teaching and sharing is a wonderful thing. I am a great listener and a quick learner always game to pick up new skills or just sit back and listen to a story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am great in holding up conversation as I've been told and will gladly ask you interesting questions - I like to really get to know someone with the time I have with them. Through laughter, stories, or sharing a meal. Speaking of meals - I am happy to help cook/ prepare food! Food is life.
