Just a high energy, people loving, curious girl who cashed it all in to do a 2 year Around the World Trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do Couchsurfing because staying with locals is massively more interesting and fun than staying at a hotel or hostel and interacting with other tourists.

Interests

Philosophy, cultural exchanges, traveling off the beaten path, connecting with authentic, cool people, experiencing food, beer and wine from different countries, living in the moment, reading, writing, art (painting, photography, whatever), discussing business/sales strategy, self discovery and improvement, and DANCING!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel Stories and Advice:

-Having been traveling independently for over a year and a half, I have a fairly deep understanding and (I think) unique insight on traveling alone, especially as a women.

Professional Expertise that I can hook you up with:

-As a former director of a recruitment firm, I have a tremendous amount of experience with resumes, interviewing and salary negotiations. If you let me stay with you, I will gladly offer to revamp your CV, give you feedback on your cover letter, provide you with any and all insight I have on the job selection process.

Cooking:

-I have a few American dishes I can prepare but I'm not the world's best cook. I am, however, very eager to treat my hosts to dinner, drinks, whatever!
