About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore, create, experience and love more every day!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy adventure and have recently decided to take more risks. After being a Floridian for most of my life I took a leap of faith, packed my car and moved to Austin.

I love early morning coffee, curling up with a good book, dancing all night when the feeling calls for it, spontaneous trips to appease my insatiable need for travel, the occasional glass of Cabernet with some jazz when feeling fancy, and a bike ride when I decide physical activity can be fun.

I'm a salsa novice, a new lover of rock climbing, passionate about anything and everything french, and have an interest in writing the occasional poem.

I love meeting new people and will have a life long interested in culture, diversity and language. I'm pretty easy going and never shy away from trying something new.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun"

:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few times while I was living and traveling in Europe and found such wonderful hospitality. I hosted once while I had my apartment in Gainesville.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love the idea of the couchsurfing experience, I feel this community brings open-minded people together to learn from each other and grow.

I have received such wonderful hospitality from people in different countries, and I am so grateful to have met such beautiful and kind people. I only hope to one day be able to pay it forward :)
