CURRENT MISSION

To become a triple threat traveler: Adventurer, Travel Writer, and Travel Show host!

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, enjoy adventures, travel and meeting fellow travelers. I spent six months this winter working as a tour guide for the Polynesian Hostel in Hawaii- BEST. JOB. EVER! If you look through my photos, you will see. The hostel and those I met there are family to me now, and I look forward to spending more time with them on my travels in the future.
I just moved to Sweden from the great state of Vermont (a small, progressive little state in the east) I am looking to meet fellow travelers and folks living in the Gothenburg area. I am very extroverted, so I enjoy making new friends. http://travelbugproductions.com/

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss. I know it sounds cliche, but you only have one life to live, why not do what makes you happy?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While Im not yet providing a couch for people to crash, I am super happy to meet anyone who wanders my way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

FUN! ADVENTURE! EXCURSIONS! I have enjoyed meeting new and amazing people through CS. I have not yet had the opportunity to host or be hosted, but I hope the time will come soon. Until then, I will continue to meet new folks visiting or living in the area, and will host some events of my own :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a leap of faith. On a whim, I purchased a one way ticket to Hawaii and left with only $500, and dream of making it to New Zealand. It was the most amazing journey of my life. Not only did I end up making it to New Zealand, I made it to Australia too. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am writing book about hosteling, which would also translate for CS participants as well. In the meantime, check out my blog: http://travelbugproductions.com/
