​A Life Outdoors is a Life Well-Lived ☀️

A forever sunshine lover, beach chaser, mountain climber, flower adorer, and bird admirer pursuing a masters degree in International Development with plans to go into Environmental Law. But, more importantly I believe in living life with few regrets, being happy (doesn't mean life doesn't suck sometimes), and spending the majority of my time outside.

As a cisgender, straight, white woman born in the US - I am privileged in many ways. I am, and will always be an activist, feminist, and environmentalist; to me these issues are ever transforming and intersectional movements that need both my silence and my voice. What we need are radical changes,
creative thinking, and power shifts - I mean, along with a lot of other things haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was recommended to Couchsurfing by a couple of friends, and I have had nothing but good experiences. My first experience couchsurfing was on a solo trip to Ireland back in 2015 when I was doing a study abroad program in France. I was blown away by the generosity and kindness that I was shown, not only by my hosts, but by fellow couchsurfers. Since then, couchsurfing has definitely become a favorite way to travel!
