An outdoors-loving girl who loves adventure and a chance to learn or see something new. You'll never see me turn down a good cup of coffee or think twice about eating dessert first. Always excited about the chance to make a new friend and explore/hike a new area. 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To better appreciate the cultures and people I'm visiting, as it's not the places you go but the individuals you meet that give travel its meaning. Couchsurfing opens doors to friendships all over the world and breaks stereotypes through the power of hospitality. I'm excited for the adventures and friends to come! :)

Interests

Music (always trying to learn more with piano/violin/guitar/ukulele), anything outdoors, eating, cooking/baking, word games, longboarding, running, etc.

• coffee
• baking
• running
• traveling
• music

• longboarding

Music, Movies, and Books

I like upbeat/folk type music such as George Ezra, Hollow Coves, Ed Sheeran, Vance Joy, Matthew Mole, and Andrew Belle, but also listen to a good amount of Christian artists/worship music when solo karaoke car sessions are in order. :)

I usually enjoy a good rom-com, suspense, drama, etc. Pretty much anything but horror haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Baked 5 large cakes and catered for a wedding in Haiti with limited notice and supplies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to show friends the joy of longboarding (the skateboard version, I definitely can’t surf...yet), Dutch Blitz (a fast-paced card game), baking, and playing music/singing.

Currently re-learning Violin alongside mandolin, ukulele, piano, and guitar. Learning Italian.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great sense of humor and the best puns you'll ever hear👌, a buddy to hike with (rain/shine/mud/whatever), ability to bake many different desserts, and good, deep conversation about life and whatever else 🙂
