About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to explore the world, meet people, eat different foods, and have adventures :)

ABOUT ME

Easy going, open-minded, friendly, and enjoys meeting new people. I enjoy nature and sight-seeing. I like to have adventures, explore, hang out with friends, and tell stories and jokes. I love to laugh and find joy in the little things in life :)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to work to be a positive person because I want to find goodness in all aspects of life. Life is what you make it. I also want to work for the community, so that being said, I believe in humanity and working to help each other out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy couchsurfing to meet people and love getting to see their home from their point of view.

Mostly surfing and not much hosting because I live with my family and they're not up for hosting. But if I am available, I could show you around and hang out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have some couch surfing experience but don't let this discourage potential hosts as I am sure that we'll get along. Also, I am always eager to have my adventures and travels with Couchsurfing so please consider me and help me in my adventures! :D

Interests

I thoroughly enjoy working for people and getting involved in the community. Some other interests include craft beer, fiction novels, independent cinemas, running/cycling, spicy foods, live music, traveling, bowling, and watching sports for fun.

May 2017 - I traveled around Europe for the first time and saw 7 cities in 14 days. I basically traveled to cities around Eastern Europe via train and stayed in hostels and met a lot of wonderful people :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can carry long conversations about things that are important to me, such as ethics, traveling, and advocating for people's rights. I often am interested in gaining insight and learning from others.
I love learning in general so I would love to hear what you have to share or show around :)
