CURRENT MISSION

Embracing new experiences as they come

ABOUT ME

I am outgoing but not overbearing, a great listener and eater. I enjoy a good adventure even if it's exploring a new corner store in my neighborhood. A great day for me is hanging out with close friends, having a drink, watching a movie and cooking together. I love to travel, going to new places, meeting people and learning about cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

I love that feeling when you realize how small you are in this world but what an impact an individual can make. This is ultimately reflected in my art and who I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I excited to host and show people around my city. I look forward to becoming more involved in the CS community. I plan on traveling next year and would like to meet some people before I head out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only meet surfers that friends have hosted. Those have all been positive experience. I have a lot of friends who have traveled through CS and all have had awesome experiences. Hoping to flesh out this section in the near future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in the Swiss alps outside of Zermatt. One of the best days I've ever had. My best friend, and I traveling separately meet for a week of travel in Switzerland and Germany. We hiked the Gornergrat, felt like a champ. Along out hike we frolicked in icy mountain water, had our path blocked by a heard of sheep and made friends with cows in an abandoned mountain town.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and working in my garden sharing those skills is a joy. I do yoga fairly often and would love to practice with you!

I'm excited to learn what others have to offer in all aspects.
