About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore what the West Coast has to offer

ABOUT ME

I am pretty out-going and sociable. Love to travel and meet people. New experiences are always enjoyed as well as a good laugh. I am pretty easy going and tend to find something in common with everyone!

I recently moved to San Francisco, so I am exploring my new surroundings!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am still pretty new at couch-surfing, but the experiences I have had so far have been great!
The couchsurfing community in Lyon was very welcoming and made me feel very welcome and comfortable while settling into the city.
I think it is a great idea, and is an awesome way to meet new people, travel cheap and create connections and friendships all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience is still limited, but has been positive encounters thus far! I am unable to host at this point in time, but as soon as I move to a new apartment I will be able to!
I have on the other-hand, hosted people I met in Canada, had them over for supper, been the tour guide etc. I know how much I appreciate it when someone goes out of their way to help share their own city, culture and home. It is the best way to really know and get a feel for the places you travel to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Spain and France, learned 2 languages, worked as an Aupair, went on a Europe-trip, traveled to many great places. Jumped off a bridge, swam across a lake, sailed, bungee jumped, hitch-hiked, and road tripped.

Seen so far... Wadi Rum, Petra, Dead Sea, many amazing monuments and places throughout Europe, Rocky Mountains... there's more!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Coming true is not the only purpose of a dream.
Its most important purpose is to get us in touch
with where dreams come from, where happiness
comes from. Even a shattered dream can do that
for you."
