CURRENT MISSION

Visit one country for every year that I'm alive!

ABOUT ME

I love relaxing while picking people's brains, including my own. Sharing experiences is always a fun pastime. Hiking/camping and biking are a close second. I'm open to new cultures and new experiences! Snowboarding, yoga, TRAVEL, languages, and coloring are a few more favorites of mine.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy each and every moment. Keep in mind what's important. Be me. AND Die young as late in life as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I donated! I surfed in Colorado for a snowboarding trip. I hosted a mom and daughter on their way to Oregon, and surfed in Iowa a couple times. I met CSers in California to take a hike in Malibu, their dog included. I've crashed in Nebraska, Chicago, Tennessee...Hopefully many more to come. Anti-hotel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with an awesome couple who had a spare bedroom! I wouldn't have made the trip without CS. I made it to Denver and back on almost nothing. Met some awesome surfers and made many friends. I love that this organization has a self-selecting crowd. I feel safe and at home with CSers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bunjee jumping over Victoria Falls. Petting a cheetah and walking the lions.

Most recently I fulfilled a dream of swimming with a reef shark in the wild for a good 20 meters!

Sky diving was pretty amazing, so was hiking a mountain in Chile to view 7 waterfalls cascading from a glacier.

Traveling solo is amazingly empowering. I highly recommend it! Costa Rica rocks.

Teach, Learn, Share

From my travels I learned there is no ONE right way to do anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sleep, and conversation. I'll likely ask you where to eat and what to do, that's all I need from you. :)
