CURRENT MISSION

I am determined to see as much of the world as I can. I want to experience it all!

ABOUT ME

People often call me quirky because of my odd habits. My creativity and sense of adventure are what I am most proud of. I have a great appreciation for the arts and for new experiences. I strongly value intelligent conversations and the differences in people. Also, I love costumes.

PHILOSOPHY

I love the idea of the unique, be it in a person, place, idea, or experience. I am all about trying and seeing as many new things as I can. Included in that list is learning about different kinds of people because I believe it is the differences among us that make our world so dynamic and wonderful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I aim to have beautiful experiences with everyone I meet, trying my best to pay it forward. Please note, I do not host unverified surfers without references, and I only host women. I do not give out keys, so surfers may only be at my place while I am home. Sorry for the inconvenience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times in Toronto, New York, Bulgaria and South Africa.
I've also met up with surfers in Colombia, Washington DC and Italy.

Interests

I love going to festivals or various events around town. I spend my other time reading or writing, and I get very excited about acting, attending shows, or making any kind of art.

Music, Movies, and Books

Book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I read constantly; I think about words in my sleep. I’d label my preferred music genre as “alternative fun.” Really, just something I can sing along to is what I gravitate toward. I’m also a sucker for a good country song.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taken a horseback safari on the Nile River.
Taken a bus trip around New York and Canada by myself.
Hiked Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.
Traveled solo around Turkey.
Taken shots with Chinese Party officials.
Volunteered at a cheetah-breeding Center in South Africa.
Sandboarding in the Sahara Desert.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer the perspective of a young American girl who has seen quite a bit in her short lifetime. I am friendly, curious, and willing to go on adventures! Still, I enjoy thoughtful, stimulating conversation over a quiet cup of coffee. Slow or fast, I'm just excited to learn. I love to muse about or at things or people. Truly, there’s always more to ponder.
