CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, help others, appreciate everything.

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back, outgoing 30 year old who loves to be outside and active, travel, meet new people, and all around enjoy what life has to offer. I have been living all around the US for work the past few years including Alaska, Wash state, Hawaii, Colorado, Washington DC, and California. A few years ago, I spent a summer backpacking Europe with my sister and boyfriend and made the best memories through CSing. I've also been involved in local CS communities and have made wonderful new friends. I try to take time and enjoy life and not get preoccupied with work, money, or material things. I'm happiest when I'm outside somewhere beautiful, doing meaningful work, and with great friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
Mahatma Gandhi

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
John Muir

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

lots of wonderful experiences surfing around the world. I have also met many great friends in different parts of the US through CS'ing and CS events. I hosted travelers while living on the east shore of Oahu.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met amazing people throughout Europe who opened their doors very generously to me and my friends. They definitely made each new city/ country more meaningful and authentic.
