Mississippi girl seeing the world.
Fiercely addicted to coffee.
Barista.
I love to travel, eat good food, cook good food, and meet new people.
Met my amazing husband, Henrique, on Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To encounter wonderful people on my travels or theirs! I'm always eager to learn more about other people, cultures, and their travel stories. Also, I want to generate some good couchsurfing karma for when it comes time for me to need a couch to crash on. If we are home, we'd love to host you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I asked for someone to hangout on couchsurfing in Dublin, and now we are married! I was just looking for someone to have some pints with after my flight in, and ended up meeting the love of my life. He's from Brazil and I'm from the USA, and we found each other in Ireland. I couldn't be happier to share my adventures with him. Since we first met, we have traveled to 7 countries together and counting! Adding 4 more on our upcoming adventure in celebration of our 1 year wedding anniversary.

Teach, Learn, Share

In addition to being a barista, I'm also a mixed media artist and henna artist. I'm always eager to see other artists at work and their portfolios, and would be more than happy to share what I know about henna. Henrique is a mechanical engineer and loves to play CounterStrike. Together, we love to hike and cycle. Excited for our upcoming move to Colorado, where there are so many trails and mountains to explore!
