CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much about this world I live in as possible and to continue to learn about myself along the way!

ABOUT ME

Currently I live in Salt Lake City but in about two months I'll be moving to Heredia, Costa Rica to adventure and work on my Spanish skills. I've got great family, great friends, great boyfriend and of course a great pup. I am always up for an adventure and try and take full advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. Traveling or even talking about traveling tickles my insides and makes my heart flutter! It has become my greatest passion. There are so many things out there I'm excited to do and try!

PHILOSOPHY

I love to read so this quote really sums up the way I feel about travel and life in general. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I'm fairly new to the couch surfing community but I think it's wonderful and I can't wait to take advantage of it! I also I'm looking forward to when I'll actually be in a position to host surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but glad to be part of a community of fellow travelers and great people!

Interests

Anything outdoors, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing. I recently started training for a triathlon and have been enjoying the running/swimming/biking part of that! I love playing and watching soccer, photography, art, big cities, big mountains and of course traveling! One of my favorite quotes is, "To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world". I couldn't agree more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jamming to U2 through the beautiful countryside of southern Ireland where my heritage is from gave me the chills! Sharing a New Years Eve dinner with some locals on the island of Vieques off of Puerto Rico and making a wish on 12 sugar coated grapes for the coming year, bar hopping in Vienna with my dad and my German brother Lars, happening upon an outdoor Norah Jones concert in Lucca Italy
