I'm in a transition in my life and have decided to grow through travel. I want to live well and explore the world outside of what I've always known. I love being inspired by nature and others. People live such amazing lives and I just want to hear all about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a way to travel sustainably, open myself to new perspectives, and see the world locally.

Interests

I love to have fun. For me that usually involves food, drink, family, and friends. I consider myself an expert at having fun and will appreciate anything from reflecting whilst backpacking in the wilderness to chatting the dealer up while gambling at a casino. So my interests include: new experiences, meeting people, reading, writing, movies, t.v., outdoors, cooking, eating, photography, among others to be remembered or discovered.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some pretty delicious food.

I want to learn about the human experience in its various forms.

I will share my home, heart, and stories with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share time, help in anyway I can, teach something I know, help cook, clean...I'm not sure where this question is going...
