CURRENT MISSION

Mission: Perhaps Possible

ABOUT ME

I'm addicted to spontaneity and searching for serendipitous moments, and love traveling for both of those reasons. I grew up on the same street in South Carolina for the first 14 years of my life, until my parents decided to move to China, and I have yet to stop moving. I was most recently traveling in China, Thailand, and Laos, where I farmed rice, taught English, did a meditation course, bartended, and had a magnificent time.

I'm open-minded, friendly, adaptable, and easy-going. I enjoy new experiences and meeting new people, and I love a good conversation. Message me if you do, too!

PHILOSOPHY

First, that today is the first day of the rest of my life--embrace the unexpected, make the best decisions possible, enjoy the good, forgive the bad, and be grateful. Second, every action is a decision. Be mindful and conscientious. Third, treat every person with kindness and respect.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By meeting new people through couchsurfing and spreading the good word to nonsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My most memorable couchsurfing experiences are the memories of all of the people who I met who have stuck with me and still have a special place in my heart despite geographical distance.
