ABOUT ME

I've been a student and an AT thru-hiker, a field hockey player, a violinist, a traveler and a child. I'm a wilderness therapy guide, a new skier, a crossworder, a daughter, a lover, and of course lots of other things.

PHILOSOPHY

i hear and i forget.
i see and i remember.
i do and i understand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've just surfed, but I'm eager to host once I have a suitable couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite moment was getting brought onto a sailboat in Hobart, Tasmania by a wonderful couple. Dolphins leapt next to the boat, and instead of spending a second day exploring the city by myself, I was whisked away onto the water and into the lives of some incredible locals.
