CURRENT MISSION

To embrace every second with enthusiasm

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for life. I enjoy trying new things and learning along the way. I find great joy in teach people new ideas or skills. I love meeting new people and learning from them. Everyone has something interesting to offer. It is amazing how different experiences shape us into the person that we are today. I have always wanted to travel. My dreams were realized in the fall of 2008 when I was able to see the world through a fantastic study abroad program. Traveling runs through my veins. There is no better way to understand life than to experience different cultures and live life through their eyes. I am truly blessed to have traveling be part of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to enjoy and understand the world around me.

Be Love.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to surf and meet new people. Unfortunately, I have never lived some place that easily accommodates a couchsurfer. I will meet you for coffee, show you around the city, and introduce you to all central IL has to offer!
