About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission objective is to help as many people as possible, continue growing and push myself beyond my fears, live life fully and have as many random spontaneous adventures as possible. Find people with great minds, open hearts, and big smiles.

ABOUT ME

They would say that I'm an extremely outgoing, genuine, gregarious person who's always looking for adventure. They'd say that I'm fun, full of life and honest.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, be open, be true. Honesty and integrity are of utmost importance to me. There will always be someone who has more than you, and there will always be someone who has less. So it is best to be grateful for what we have and do our best to live fully in each moment, being true to ourselves and supportive of our community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches around the world but I believe in exchange so I always try to leave something positive behind. Be it a happier heart, a cleaner home, a flower from the woods, a homemade card with silly sketches, or a box of chocolates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had great couchsurfing experiences hence far. I love meeting new people and I think it is an honor to be trusted so readily and have people share their homes and time with me.

Interests

Traveling, reading, conquering my fears, laughing, hiking and exploring nature, dancing, being healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually, singing, volunteering with children and horses, furthering my learning experience working with horses, meeting new people and helping the world as much as I can in between. I live a very full life. I savor the quiet moments when I can sit and quietly listen to the sounds of nature and just be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packing up everything in my house and leaving Washington for the first time in my life with no idea where I would live or how things would end up. Just packed two suitcases, my massage table, me and my dog into my car and drove from Washington to Prescott, AZ. Two months later I ended up in Germany for 2.5 weeks amazed that somehow I had finally made it to Europe.

Watching Cavalia was an amazing and beautiful experience.

The continuous generousity and support I have been show by friends, family and strangers as I have moved through my journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

massage, amazing peanut butter cookies, how sensory based interventions can help autistic students, stuff about horses, dancing,
