Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to be young, travel and live to have fun and learn about everything
ABOUT ME
Im a 20 year old college student. I hope to travel to as many awesome places as I possibly can! Meeting new people and hearing their story makes my traveling experiences so wonderful. While abroad in Europe, I met tons of rad people. Im a pretty laid back person and just like to go with the flow and find adventures along way. I'll try anything once. I dig good food, great drinks and awesome people! I want to learn and grow as a person and the best way to do that is to open up your mind and soak up everything life has to offer!
PHILOSOPHY
I feel like you can learn from anything, anyone, anywhere, as long as you listen.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have surfed in a couple of places but have yet to host anyone. I would love to have the hosting experience as well as more wonderful guest experiences too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My sister and I went on a road trip and surfed along the way. Great experience! I loved all of the new people we met.
Interests
I love to read. Ishmael is one of my favorite books and I hope everyone gets a chance to read it. Anything that makes me stop and think.
The Beatles are my favorite band; I dig reading about them and listening to all of their music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I lived in Amsterdam last summer as a nanny. It was the best decision I've ever made. It was a real time. This summer I will be in Ghana, Africa to teach English and work in a health care clinic in a small village. Can't wait for the experience. I've also participated in building houses in Guatemala where I met some incredible people.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would like to learn anything I can from anyone I can. I like when I meet someone or learn something that changes my perspective a bit. When I can take a walk in someone else's shoes, I feel like the world is a slightly better place.
