My friends call me positive polly because I try to see the good in every situation. Things could always be worse! I love laughing and having a good time. I'm adventurous and have the "wing it" attitude, not being much of a planner which could potentially work against me but I usually prefer just going with the flow. I'm a great listener and I have a degree in Sociology with plans to be a Social Worker; my ultimate goal is to help people in need. My Instagram is Deemarie91 for recent updates :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is such a great way to meet people especially locals while traveling! I honestly was a little skeptical once my brother introduced me but I was instantly hooked after reading everyone's amazing experiences and friendships. I tried it for the 1st time while visiting New Orleans, & I couldn't have had a better experience. When you're on a budget, this is the most practical and exciting way to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tarzan jump in Costa Rica (The height is 148 feet and the length is 294 feet-it’s like a 13 story building!)
