About Me

Kzoo born and raised. When I'm not waiting tables I'm outside exploring, hiking, or biking, and if I'm not outside I'm probably in a cafe downtown playing piano. I love to bake, always have a song in my head, and dream of bartending my way through college. Aspiring hammockist. Life stories are ALWAYS a welcomed answer to "how are you?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just received my associates at a community college and am working towards entering a university to earn a degree. The stress of paying for school is wearing on me more than ever and I'm hoping I can find some motivation from a road trip this summer, and gain some insight from people I meet. People are the #1 reason to travel and I love listening to, and collecting stories from people around the world and being able to share those stories with people I meet along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Balanced a Swiss Guard on my palm
Worked with North Korean defectors
Kayaked with baby seals in Oregon
Lived out of a van for 10 weeks
Drove that van out to the beach and almost lost that van in the ocean
Didn't lose that van in the ocean
Went back to school. Twice.

Teach, Learn, Share
