CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for meeting new people, learning about different cultures, food, & traveling. It just so happens that Couchsurfing does a fairly good job at combing all of those aspects into one! Due to my busy lifestyle, I am not able to travel leisurely to the volume that I prefer - CSing allows me to stay connected to travelers from around the world in the comfort of my home city.

I first moved to Houston in 2006 to attend the University of Houston where I received a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management and a MBA. I work at the Houston Convention Bureau - as a result, I have a very good pulse on what's going in the city and the best places to visit! I pride mself on showing guests are town when I'm available to hang out...

I'm a big foodie and love hospitality in general. One of my favorite things to do is host dinner parties on my terrace, but I also frequent Houston's awesome dining scene. I also stay busy by working out, playing lacrosse, visiting the nearby beach or lakes, and just hanging out with friends in general.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live life once; make sure it's enough!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was first introduced to couchsurfing when I studied abroad in Angers, France spring of 2010. Couchsurfing enabled me to travel throughout many parts of Europe while there. While at home in the U.S., I enjoy giving back to the community by hosting my fellow travelers!
