I've got a positive attitude towards life and am grateful to be exposed to the endless opportunities that traveling has to offer! I'm an active girl, early to rise so that I can make the most of each day, but am always willing to explore nightlife as well. I'm considerate, culturally sensitive, and extremely tidy.

Friends describe me as flexible and laid back. Although I am new to the couchsurfing community, my experience with hosting travelers has taught me that the perfect relationship between a host and a guest involves communication, respect, and an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experiences living in tourist towns have left me preaching the mantra "live like a local." I value my ability to share what I love about where I live. I remember the first time I saw the mountains; the first trek along the unbeaten path, the first back-country trails and nights spent at secluded camping spots. Seeing other people experiencing this for the first time too makes me oh-so-happy. If you're on this website then I gather you love where you live too, and I hope to share that with you! At the heart of every memory from my travels are the incredible people I have come across.

Interests

I like to hike and explore, chill on the beach and listen to live music. I'm a road trip fanatic and am always up for something fun! I love art, literature and photography. Ultimately I'm interested in sharing new and exciting experiences with new people.
