CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people, travel, make the most out of life, and not take what I have for granted!

ABOUT ME

I'm a very friendly and outgoing person. The things that make me truly happy in life are: animals, my family and friends, singing and dancing along to music, going hiking, volunteering/helping animals and people in any way possible, and of course meeting new people. I'm a very sympathetic person.

One of the best decisions I've ever made was becoming a vegetarian, but I promise you I'm not preachy about it!

I traveled all over Europe and absolutely loved the people I met and adventures I had there with European friends of mine and couchsurfing hosts! I hope to get back there soon and see more of the world. One of my goals is also to visit every state in the U.S. (I'm more than half-way there).

PHILOSOPHY

PEACE! Treat others how you want to be treated. Laugh, it's contagious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Brussels and was quite the experience (definitely a great one though)! After that I couchsurfed all over Europe--in Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain...and there will be more couchsurfing to come, I just know it! (I even got my friends to try couchsurfing.)
