About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see the world and experience everything it has to offer!

ABOUT ME

I'm fun, enthusiastic and adventurous! I have a passion for experiencing new things. I'm from the United States, but was recently living in Spain and just moved back the the U.S. My goal is to travel at every opportunity and learn new things and meet fascinating people. Maybe couch surfing will help with that?! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing lasts forever. So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take chances and never have regrets, because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems like a great community of like-minded travelers. I'd love to meet similar, open-minded people.

Interests

What don't I like?! I'm always up for trying anything once! I love experiencing new food and new cultures. I like to meet new people and hear their stories. I'm a huge sports fan, I love watching and playing! And of course I like movies and music, but who doesn't?! Haha.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all movies, but my favorites includes Die Hard, Inception, Inglorious Basterds, Garden state, Little Miss Sunshine and Crazy Stupid Love :)
I like non-fiction books and autobiographies. My top 3 are The Glass Castle, Running With Scissors and Angela's Ashes
And I love anything Indie Rock ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sold my house, car and everything I owned and moved to Spain with the promise of nothing. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I learned a lot about who I was and grew a lot as a person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a sponge, I want to to learn everything there is to know. I'd love to share some of my amazing life adventures with willing listeners. And I'd love to hear yours too ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share travel experiences with my host and also hear all about theirs. I want to share things of my culture but also learn all about your. I'd like to leave and know I have a new friend in that town :)
