CURRENT MISSION

Meet travelers from around the world and learn about different cultures, while helping out travelers and giving advice on great places to go in the PNW. I used couch surfing while traveling for the past few years and it was a great way to meet locals so I would like to give back now.

ABOUT ME

I live just outside of Seattle and I work in higher education. I am passionate about providing educational opportunities to students and support students to explore and succeed.

Outside of work I enjoy hanging out with friends, nightlife, relaxing, and spending time outdoors during the summer.

Mostly here to meet people and make new friends. Feel free to message me if you have any questions; I'm an open book!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS to meet people traveling from other countries. I used CS while traveling for a year and met great people and I would like to give back. Even though I can't host, I can meet with travelers, show you around the the area, or give suggestions on places to see.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- most anything from the 80s or 90s. Any genre; pop, r&b, dance, hip-hop, country. I have a variety of songs in my music library, mostly american.

Movies- thriller, horror, and suspense are my favorite. Obviously not for the acting, but for some reason I like the feeling of being scared and not knowing what's going to happen next. I also like action, drama, and animated movies.
