CURRENT MISSION

To learn, absorb, explore

ABOUT ME

I left my job in fashion design and I'm currently embarking on a year long trip around the world. Trying to learn, explore, and absorb as much as possible while I plan my next endeavor which could include volunteering in fair trade in South America, learning Spanish, and potentially going back to school. For now I am enjoying global exploration and meeting wonderful people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A few years ago I hosted a few surfers in Seattle with my roommate. Now that Im traveling I hope to do some surfing myself!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting has meant that I've had the opportunity to meet amazing people from all over the globe. As a traveler I have participated in a few meet ups through couchsurfing and made some friendships that will last a lifetime. So far It's been incredible being a part of the couchsurfing community.

Interests

Art, design, architecture, photography, music, and film of all sorts. I love anything innovative and creative. Good food, wine, and beer particularly shared with good company. Also traveling, reading, learning and talking to anyone and everyone!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
