I'm a 27 year-old traveler from Ohio! My friends love me for being a kind-hearted and open individual. I'm a great hula hooper, cook, bartender and juggler. Trying to stay in the flow in all activities.

**I'm new to Couchsurfing! I've used HelpX a lot so I've added a photo of my references from my profile. My roommates in Columbus were Couchsurfing hosts so I've had the pleasure of hosting a couple travelers**

I started pursuing my dreams of world travel when I was 20, after I left Hospitality Management school. I did a one year working holiday in Australia and visited New Zealand as well. I then stayed on Hawaii for a couple months, then traveled my way up the west coast of the U.S into British Columbia. I'm very keen on beaches, lakes, and Rivers. In fact, my nickname is "Riv."

I'm currently backpacking through Central America and soon heading to Colombia ✨

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To make friends all over the world! I wish to continually expand by opening myself up to the people, places, and experiences that come my way. I'm also keen to see the cities I visit through the lens of a local :) I hope to host soon to give back.

Интересы

I love everything culinary. I'm inspired by the process of turning nature's bounty into amazing, delicious food and drink. I also love to dance with hula hoops and juggle! I'm interested in learning about cultures and seeing the world.
