About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Life is a Highway, I want to ride it all night long..."

ABOUT ME

I am full of life and love to laugh and smile. I believe that everyone should have a chance to travel! I would like to get out and see the world Im a spontaneous person and love life. I live for community service and new experiences. Now, thanks to CS Shanghai, I have a wonderful husband to share these experiences with!

I like to randomly begin dancing when a song pops into my head,
love to sing but I can't,
love trying new foods,
movie nights are the best thing since sliced bread,
in high school I was a band dork (miss those days ;) ),
i am always up for a good adventure :)

I have been living in shanghai for 5 years now. I studied here, recently graduated and am now working.

I believe it is important to meet people from all over the world!

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet other people who are visiting in Shanghai. Unfortunately the place I am staying is barely big enough for my husband and I, So we are unable to host surfers at the moment until we move into a new place that is bigger. I would love to show people around the city though.

Also shanghai has a Couchsurfing group I am apart of where I have participated and invited people to different free events around the city.

My husband and I actually met through a couchsurfing event here in shanghai :)
