CURRENT MISSION

Give more than I take

ABOUT ME

I'd always wanted to visit Australia, and three weeks after I considered moving from my little home town, I was here! I love food, music, finding new places, meeting new people, being genuine, and generally enjoying life. I sing all the time, dance more than I should, drink coffee all day long, and take off my shoes whenever possible. I love learning, listening, sharing, cooking, eating, walking, reading, laughing, smiling, big hugs, clean smells, and impromptu adventures. I don't like eggplant or running. I am awkward.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Christian and believe it's my job and my pleasure to bring as much good and love into the world as I can, not just to people who look, think, or believe the same as I. There are so many blessings in every day--how can I fail to give some back?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last-minute surfs and meet-ups are the name of the game when your free time is as unpredictable as mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some really wonderful people have come into my life through Couchsurfing, and I can't wait to see who's next!

Interests

I spend a lot of time on the never-ending task of writing letters home... it might be faster if I sent mass emails, but not nearly as special, don't you think? I love rambling around the little village where I live now, or wherever I happen to be, to seek hidden treasures and get to know the place and people better. I miss home and my adorable dog, Button, so if you have a dog, I might try to hug it. Let's be honest: I will hug pretty much any dog I meet. Other than that, I'm easy-going. :D
