I am laid back but quirky and silly! I have a thirst for life and have made a vow with myself to experience somewhere new at least once a year. I have the itch, and I'm finally satisfying that itch and crave for travel. I am a people person and value true connections. I am currently a student but taking time off to explore my options. I tend to gravitate towards the quirky and weird things in life. Definitely not your average Jane but I have a huge heart! My passion lies within my external environment and exploring this earth and giving back to my fellow community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently traveling cross country and on a tight budget! Not only am I in need of places to stay along the way but I am also interested in meeting fellow travelers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified Early Childhood Ed teacher and have experience with infancy up to age 10 as well as with special needs. I also have housekeeping, pet sitting and farming experience.

My main passion is working with children and showing love and support in those fundamental years of growth. I also plan to work within women's shelters and help troubled youth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, adventures, willingness to contribute. Babysitting, pet sitting, housekeeping and farming experience. So any work opportunities within those specific areas I would be willing to explore and help with.
