CURRENT MISSION

As a mom of two and a wife of one ;) my mission in life is to discover humanity. Through traveling, my husband and I find it one of the riches experiences

ABOUT ME

I am spontaneous, creative, artistic, a planner, a good listener, a faithful friend, loyal, truthful, and realistic. I am a newlywed of my best friend and mate for life- Scott, and at the point where we are realizing that marriage really does make you a better person...you have someone that holds you accountable at all times!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to make the most out of life and never take anything for granted. You only live once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in France in 2008 and absolutely fell in love with France, as our newfound friends took us in with open arms. The whole concept of opening your home to travelers all around the world is an amazing concept. Scott and I would like host someday as well!

Interests

Snowboarding, road trips, backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, meeting up for coffee with friends, seeking out adventures- whether in our home town or around the world, recreational volleyball, art, design, photography and architecture...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm such a nerd- Anne of Green Gables books (all 8 of the books and movies), I'm down with all types of music from indie/folk, alternative, classic rock, electronic, pop, acoustical, classical, christian to country music...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled 12 western European cities on a shoestring budget in 4 weeks- From Seattle to London, Paris, Montpellier, Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza, Nice, Cinque Terre, Rome, Aviano, Venice, back to Paris, back to London, New York City and home to Seattle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that every person has something they offer for others to learn and grow from. For me, I view situations from an optimistic lens almost to a fault and hope that others might be inspired by it and that I might learn from others experiences to see the more realistic side of life. I have just discovered my love of cooking, and love the challenge of making meals without buying anything- I'd love a challenge :)
