CURRENT MISSION

Traveling while working on my master's of teaching and learning!

ABOUT ME

I love connecting with people, traveling, and playing outside! My favorite activities are whitewater kayaking, biking, cooking, reading, and grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is too short to waste
In critic peep or cynic bark,
Quarrel or reprimand:
Twill soon be dark;
Up! Mind thine own aim,
and God speed the mark!"

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently in Oregon and unfortunately do not have space for surfers. However, I will be traveling in Europe this summer and am excited to get back to couchsurfing which I had the pleasure of doing about a decade ago! While not hosting or surfing, I love meet-ups and getting together with the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the pleasure of staying with hosts throughout Europe (primarily Spain). All my CS experiences have been wonderfully rewarding, and I'm happy to be a part of such a network.
