I am a girl with lots of dreams and a backpack... Making the most of every day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The more I travel, the more I realize visiting and experiencing places is more than the sights you see... Meeting different people from around the world has been the richest experiences of traveling. For this reason, I have always been drawn to the life and atmosphere that comes from staying at hostels. To stay at a hotel, to me as a solo traveler, feels completely empty and isolated. No matter how beautiful the sights.

When I heard about Couchsurfing I was immediately intrigued. I love meeting new people and building great friendships. There is something so genuine about experiencing different places through the lens of a local. I'm a great listener and love learning peoples backgrounds and how they got where they are today. I am still pretty new to couchsurfing, but the great friendships I have received from hosts almost immediately has been wonderful!

Excited to continue to use couch surfing to meet new friends and see new places! <3

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly... not to sound super unoriginal, but I try really hard to make each day super meaningful. This happens so easily when I'm traveling. I don't know if it's the change in routine or freedom that comes from living in the moment. But I have been blessed with countless "Best Day Ever!"

Most stories you honestly would never believe until you met me.... It's been a pretty fun ride :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told I have contagious energy. Life isn't always easy, but I've learned to always find joy in situations. I love to leave places better than I find them.
