About Me

CURRENT MISSION

HAWAII!

ABOUT ME

Love to travel and explore the world. Up for anything new and exciting! I'm especially enamored with potlucks, nature hikes, and tubing on rivers.

PHILOSOPHY

You can't understand yourself or your culture until you are challenged. Traveling is the perfect way to do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hang with other couchsurfers, share tips and stories, and am looking for more folks to come crash on my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couchsurfing experience was in San Francisco and I LOVED IT! Can't wait to have more experiences abroad.

Interests

Dancing to trashy dance beats, going out on the town, cooking, baking, potluckin', floatin' on rivers, beaches, well... nearly everything1

Music, Movies, and Books

I love foreign film and experimental documentaries; of course, American summer blockbusters are a lot of fun, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the largest sitting bronze buddha in the world in Nara, Japan. It was stunning.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking! I'm happy to teach a few tricks of the trade and I'm known to make some epic brunch spreads on weekends.
