CURRENT MISSION

To never stop exploring, even when I'm not traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll give you my favorite quote:

"There's the gift, there's the spirit, and there's the work--all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be." (Jay-Z, 2009.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not able to host anyone since I'm traveling right now, but I'm definitely looking for couches to surf! I'm going to update this once I'm settled back into my place, and would love to show anyone around or meet up for coffee!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CS, but my boyfriend has had great experiences in various countries, and I have friends who have also enjoyed couch surfing while traveling.

Interests

Traveling that involves outdoor activities (especially surfing, climbing and hiking), finding great yoga studios (and practicing yoga), reading good non-fiction and magazines, galleries and museums, talking to strangers, healthy lifestyles, wine, laughing, open spaces, quietude.
