I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and I feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! I'm into bouldering, photography, hiking, coffee shops, board games, road trips, spontaneous adventures, yoga, really good ice cream.... I just really like to do things! I especially love being outdoors: hiking, climbing, mountaineering, beaching, sunrise/sunset chasing. I'd love to learn how to surf someday! But I also enjoy the city aspect of trying new places to eat, and am a sucker for anywhere with a cool vibe. :P

I genuinely enjoy getting to know new people and am always open to new friends, especially if they like exploring too. Let's hang. Or adventure. Or you tell me places to hang.

Currently, living in regional Australia studying a Masters, and I've barely seen any of the country! So much homework haha. Hoping to travel around to some bucket list places and stay with some cool people that can show me their favourite spots :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a more affordable way to travel, to meet new people, share my home when I can/when I have one, and see/do things I wouldn't otherwise experience. I feel like a person makes a place, and I love to see somewhere new through the eyes of someone that lives there, rather than doing the touristy thing. I first used couchsurfing in London when my housing plans fell through last minute, and been hooked ever since! Have met some super chill people through here and excited to meet more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading! Anything that will get my mindset in a positive place, is inspiring, or requiring introspect: The Alchemist, On the Road, Untamed, etc

As for music, I'll try out anything people recommend, but on my own listen to a lot of indie, folk, vapor soul (according to Spotify) and whatever bands you would have found at Warped Tour in 2008.
-Dope Lemon, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Local Natives, The National, The Babe Rainbow, etc

If I watch movies it’s usually an indie film I can never remember the name of later haha. TV shows I like fall into the category of late 90s/early 2000s sitcoms because I’m a mom at heart and too corny for my own good.
