I truly believe that we can learn something from every individual we meet, and that being bored is only possible if we choose to live without a grateful or receptive mindset.

I strive to be a global citizen and an authentic friend to everyone, even in small interactions.

If I am not traveling, I am spending time with loved ones or finding opportunities to be engaged with the community around me, mainly by volunteering and participating in various events.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

August '23:

I have relocated to Key West! My current living space is limited enough that I am not comfortable hosting yet, but I would be happy to meet people for sightseeing and such!

May '19:

Since I joined Couchsurfing in 2015, I have traveled to 13 countries outside of the United States. Many of my travels so far have been spent staying in hostels or with family and friends. I am still active on Couchsurfing to this day because I hope to gain new cultural, learning, and people-uniting experiences through the Couchsurfing community.
