My greatest passion in life is meaningfully connecting with others and learning from them. I love meeting creative, unique, interesting people from all around the world. I truly believe that there is something valuable to be learned from every new encounter, and this concept is one of my number one inspirations in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurf as a way to connect with new people and to hear their stories, with hopes of making some lifelong friends along the way. Meeting kind, impressive, inspiring people in new places is the best part about travel in my opinion!

Most of my couchsurfing experiences have been phenomenal-- all positive ones. I've learned so much from all of the unique people I've met through this organization, Couchsurfing has revealed to me the most beautiful side of humanity! :) I've also had some very creepy couchsurfing experiences (can I get an "amen" from all my fellow solo female travelers?) but I'll save those stories for later...
