ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing, social person who loves to have a good laugh with people. I enjoy all sports and just being active in general! I have competed and coached track and basketball and love participating in other sports like tennis! (But my favorite sport is basketball, because it is the best haha;) so if you play... Let's get a game going! :D I'm always up for a good time and meeting new people!

It is really interesting to me to hear the experiences of others. Often times I get my inspiration for my next trip based on these stories.

I'm always looking for ways to learn and to open my mind to new ideas, and I have found that the best way of doing that has been to engage with those around me.

About two summers ago I went on my first real trip abroad to Italy. I stayed with a wonderful family for about three months and realized I had to come back once I graduated university! It was such a great experience. I learned so much about myself and was able to meet amazing people along the way that really made my trip such a success.

There is something special about meeting people from around the world and sharing in new experiences together or even just sharing stories or thought! I really love that part of traveling!

Currently, I work as an au pair in Paris and have loved the experience so far. I have been living in France for almost 2 years now and have had the privilege of meeting some wonderful people and traveling to many new places!

Really it's difficult to fully understand me until we meet! So there is much more to know! But hopefully this gives you a small idea :)
Look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people that I would otherwise probably never meet. And to get to know a new city/culture from a local's point of view! One of my favorite things about traveling is all the great people you meet along the way! I have learned so much and have been able to have an even better experience by sharing it with others.
