Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To become cultured and knowledgeable of the world through travel, experiences and meeting people!
ABOUT ME
I am an energetic lady with a gigantic need to travel the world! I am a drivers ed teacher.... So if ya wanna learn how to drive/improve your skill set just lmk ❤️
I am very relaxed and accepting person and love to meet new people as much as possible. I am Currently living in Milwaukie, Oregon; i am a 10 minute drive from the Clackamas Town Center & 15 minutes from Milwaukie Transit Station. You could bus to me from there or I would be willing to pick you up as well :)
I live in a 4 bed 2.5 bath with a HUGE backyard.
I share the space with 3 others.
My partner Mason (M29) my best friend Rebeka (F31) and Marielle (F32).
There is also generally at least one BIG dog in the house ( a love bug and guardian) and maybe up to 4 or 5 dogs because all our friends of ten have dogs ...and we often do dog sitting.. so be comfy around dogs
We have a pull-out bed, several sleeping mats, a giant bean bag, and / or a big backyard to pitch a tent if you are traveling through, and we are tight on space.
😆(Also also, we are 420 friendly, don't have to participate but please know ahead of time)
We have all hosted or surfed before in some way (except marielle who will be out of house most likely anyway)
I have been on CS since 2014 and have also used host a sister and trusted house sitters for traveling and cultural exchanges. I adore meeting new people and hope I can host you!
PHILOSOPHY
I live by the philosophy of "always try to make someone laugh" I think great friends are created through laughter, that people are healed, memories are made, and lives are changed when you can truly enjoy someone's company. Plus if you can make yourself laugh, then you know that you truly love yourself!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have couch surfed many times around the states/Europe and have hosted while I was living in Australia and here in Oregon as well! My partner and stayed with couchsurfers through out ourbpast fall euroe trip (17 countries) and we stayed with lots of my old surfers!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have couch surfed several times including Florida, Croatia, Austria, Greece, France, Thailand, Hungary, Belgium, The Netherlands, Scotland and Italy. 90% of it was a positive and amazing experience and the only bad one I had will not deter me in anyway from continuing my couchsurfing travels!

Music, Movies, and Books
I personally enjoy just about any movie out there as long as there is a relatively decent plot line and great relationships. Personal favorites though are Love Actually, Avatar, Fight Club, Hairspray, and Hercules.
I'll listen to any music and enjoy it as long as I am in the right mood for it!
Books: Digital Fortress, Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, Londoners, Divergent Series, and any mythology books
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I took a trip to Athens, Greece and was able to experience the history and culture of that country in the off season when there aren't so many tourists around. My best friend and I climbed to the top of the Acropolis and got to appreciate the magical essence that was Greece!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to be a better driver ;), how to dance, how to see the magic in life. Or just where all the greatest waterfalls and hotsprings in Oregon are!
I want to learn how people look at the world differently from me and why they are the way they are. I also would love to learn specific dances like salsa, mamba, jive, tango as I already do some country swing dancing :)

My love for adventure and exploration, as well as my fun/outgoing personality!
