CURRENT MISSION

to expand my views and keep an open mind, while developing friendships with people from everywhere!

ABOUT ME

i am 23 years old and a recent graduate from my university. i work with autistic preschool children as a teacher. i love: adventures, trying new things, the beach, running, cycling, yoga, reading, traveling, trying new foods, museums, live music, meeting and getting to know new people. i am a follower of Christ, and just try to live a life that shows that. i don't really know how else to describe myself... better to just meet me!

PHILOSOPHY

i live my life for my Creator! not trying to just live a "good life", but to just be a genuine person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i first heard about CS from a friend... i am heading to europe this summer-- to Romania for 3 weeks in july, and then to italy for a year. it was suggested that i use the CS community in my travels! i am now in the process of looking for hosts for my travels, and am hoping that once my year in europe is finished, that i will be able to host visitors in my own home!

after browsing through the profiles, i have fallen in love with how open and inviting everyone on here is! i love the passion the CS community has for sharing their culture and life with others who are interested in open minded. i am hoping to learn much from my participation!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

hopefully i will have many wonderful stories to tell soon!
