CURRENT MISSION

To infect people with optimism...all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I grew up all over the U.S. both of my parents were in the military and then I joined the army when I was 19. I have been on the road ever since. I work in Environmental Science as a contractor and emergency responder so my job has me all over the us and I prefer to spend the time between contracts outside of the US so the traveling circus of this girl's life continues.... Muahahahahah

PHILOSOPHY

"There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an avid seeker of connection. With myself and others. I love the fact that travel enables us to share the benefits of those connections all over the world. I mean sure, there's the digital realm....but there's something to be said for hugging someone who a day ago was a stranger and knowing one of (or both of) your lives have been forever altered just by being in each other's presence...however briefly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have walked barefoot atop Mayan Temples, kayaked with Orcas, hiked the Olympic National forest, won random karaoke challenges,bartended in New Orleans, driven cross country (US) about a dozen times bussed all over the Yucatan...who can pick just one????

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fix helicopters, build satellite communication substations, cook, put out fires on marine vessels, shoot anything from a .22 to an M60, patch up most injuries etc... so in the event of a zombie apocalypse I'm pretty set..I would like to learn more languages, ride a motorcycle and get my open water dive cert.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, a voracious appetite for life, my dish washing capabilities, book/music recommendations, and I can fix just about any machine.
