CURRENT MISSION

Traveling South America!

ABOUT ME

I’m on my 4th long term international trip!! I started in Quito, Ecuador and am traveling for about a year or so. I’m traveling with my partner, Darien. We met while working in Chicago and decided to quit our jobs and travel together! We are both very chill people and love being outdoors. We are hoping to learn more about the culture of each city/country by staying with locals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing is great. I want to hang out with locals, learn and share cultures, experiences, and knowledge. I'm also budget traveling, so I'm trying to couch surf, hitch hike, and work as much as possible.. more adventure and you can travel a lot longer!!

Interests

I love meeting new people and listening to life stories, wandering around and being lost in new places, reading, hiking, yoga, being outdoors, live music, salsa/latin dancing, Reiki/energy healing, healthy/vegetarian lifestyle,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a trip to Rio, Brazil when I was studying abroad. I was in absolute paradise the entire 4 days. It was my first city that I traveled alone to and it is the place I realized I am capable of traveling on my own (which is sometimes hard to do as an American female, because of all the negative responses you get from people). Very liberating experience.

Also, hiking Acatenango volcano in Guatemala. Easily the hardest thing I've ever done, but most beautiful experience of my life. We camped under a full moon, lightening storm and a perfect view of Fuego volcano erupting. Magical.
