My passions lie in the arts and creative forms of expression, the outdoors and nature conservation, and exploring different cultures and broadening my horizons. I am the oldest of 6 children. A fun fact about me is that I have hosted 22 exchange students from 11 countries in my home in the USA from anywhere from a month to a year.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I started couch surfing traveling Europe for 6 months solo a few years ago, and fell in love with so many people I met as a solo traveller. I love meeting new people I wouldn't meet normally and learning about each other and sharing stories. I am currently a traveling journalist covering environmental topics in Australia.
