I believe money is best spent on adventure and experiences. My favorite thing to do is make friends and spend time with them. I am definitely happiest around people laughing, learning, drinking, & dancing.
I have been a server, dive coordinator, and daycare teacher. And I am also a Zumba instructor!
I’m obsessed with the ocean and scuba diving and therefore I care A LOT about the environment and going green. I am determined to find the most eco-friendly ways to travel and live.
I am an island girl at heart but can find happiness in all climates.
I am open minded and respectful but certainly more of a progressive thinker.
I think happiness spreads faster than unhappiness.
And I truly believe “it’s not an adventure until something goes wrong” -Yvon Chouinard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to surf on couches..duh

But in all seriousness couchsurfing is SO cool to me. I travel to learn about life, people, & cultures and couchsurfing is by far the best way to do this. I love meeting new people and learning everything I can from them. And I think couchsurfing is a great way to rebuild trust among people in a world where there are always so many awful things happening.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is one of my favorite parts about life. I love all kinds of music - especially the kinds you can dance to.

It’s so hard to choose a favorite movie because it all depends on my mood. Disney movies, romantic movies, scary movies, foreign movies, anime movies, comedies, dramas - I love it all.
My favorite TV shows of all time are Friends, Dark, Handmaids Tale, The Office, Bobs Burgers, Peaky Blinders, & Letterkenny

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz are the books I go back and read the most. But truthfully I don’t read as much as I’d like to.

I also love podcasts - travel and crime podcasts mostly :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dove the USNS Vandenberg shipwreck off the coast of Key West about 20 times. It’s 522 feet long, 100 feet deep, and has over 200 rooms. It’s a surreal underwater playground!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you learn English! And also dance & Zumba! I am a Zumba Instructor!
I want to learn about cultures and languages more than anything. I’m a mediocre cook but love cooking and learning how to make dishes from different countries.
