CURRENT MISSION

To be present in every moment.

ABOUT ME

Born on the east coast of the US, I moved with my parents to Iowa when I was 7. Ten years later, I took a Leap of Change to the west coast of Canada where I attended acting school and worked at a school for swordplay, learning stage combat and having grand outdoor adventures with friends. I have since returned to Iowa where I am pursuing a degree in Media and Communications and continuing my acting career, having recently landed my first lead role in a feature film!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to learn how to love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and make new friends around the world! In addition to my experience with couchsurfing, I've also had some great hosts on Airbnb and stayed with friends of friends who I'd not met before. My current living situation doesn't allow me to host anyone, but I'm looking forward to hosting in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a really fun time staying with a wonderful host when I travelled to NYC a few years ago . I'm looking forward to staying with another great host for my upcoming trip to Dallas, Texas!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked to the wild and rugged site of Edoras from Lord of the Rings, stood where Eowyn once stood, and held her sword! It took all the self control I could muster not to attempt swinging it around like the shield maiden would!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn how to expand myself through my art, and help others uncover and live as their true creative selves.
