CURRENT MISSION

To connect. To love. To live abundantly.

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about really connecting to other people. I enjoy real conversation, and I especially love hearing about your dreams and what you plan to do with your life. As a life and wellbeing coach, I help people shift from fear to empowerment to live a more abundant life. I am fun-loving, goofy, and adventurous. I can't wait to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Become friends with discomfort.

Follow your butterflies.

Your mind is a powerful thing. Your thoughts become your life. I wholeheartedly believe that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Back in the Spring of 2009, I studied abroad at Swansea University in Wales. I fell in love with traveling then, and I haven't looked back. I backpacked for 2 months in Italy, Greece, Spain, and France. I met the most amazing people while Couch Surfing, and I can't wait to add to those experiences.

The thing I love most about Couch Surfing is having the opportunity to connect with a local and experience the real culture of the place I am visiting. That is priceless. I tell people about CouchSurfing all the time, and I urge anyone to at least try it once. You will not regret it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking across Europe BY MYSELF at 19 years old is by far the most amazing thing I've done. I was very shy and afraid, but I didn't let that fear stop me. I came out of my shell, and I met amazing people and had a life-changing experience. That period of my life shifted everything. I would not be who I am today without that experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook healthy food and I also enjoy coaching people who feel "stuck" and are ready to pursue their dreams. I am very interested in learning more about how people all over the world view the pursuit of happiness. I am considering doing an interview series while I travel. Ask me about it! :)
