About Me

Hi! I’m a lady who loves to travel, meet new people, and experience as much of the culture of new places as possible. I’m currently spending time in Europe doing Workaways and exploring as much as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, especially those that have stories to share and are open to teaching someone about their culture.

Interests

Books, Music, Philosophy, Exploring

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: anything by Margaret Atwood or Chuck Palahniuk or Neil Gaiman. I have also started getting into a few nonfiction books — everything I’ve read by Mary Roach or Sam has been pretty great!

Music: I listen to lots of different types of music, but favorite artists/bands include Amanda Palmer, The Black Keys, Catfish & the Bottlemen, Childish Gambino, Hozier, and many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m a wedding officiant; for some reason, three separate couples have trusted me to do their wedding ceremony!!

This year has been about trying different things and being as open to new experiences as possible, so hopefully there will be more amazing things to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

What do you want to talk about? I'm a great listener!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am fun-loving and independent, and always willing to embark on a new adventure! I am extremely open and enthusiastic about travel. I love to hear stories from other people, and share my own as well. I am open to advice on where to go, what to see, and where to eat in new places, and love to hear about why certain things are favorites of other people.
