To take advantage of everything, no regrets. And travel, travel, travel. Own it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just finished traveling Asia for six months and tried to take advantage of couch surfing as much as possible. Now that I am back in the States, I want to continue meeting new people and help some fellow travelers out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met a few people and stayed overnight at a fellow couch surfers. I love the concept, I just have a hard time planning ahead enough to know where I am going to be in order to arrange more contacts.

Interests

Travel is my main interest and I feel like I was raised to work to play. I am always planning my next adventure, local or international and I think it is really important to get yourself out of your comfort zone and experience new places and people.
When I am not jet setting, I live in Denver where I live with my boyfriend. We try to have adventures on a weekly basis; either by visiting a local micro brew or going up into the mountains.

Music, Movies, and Books

If I could have a personal soundtrack running at all times for my everyday actions, I would. I love how music effects moods and situations and rarely go a few days without listening to something.
Movies: Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, Amalie, Once, Usual Suspects, etc..
Books: Siddhartha, Kite Runner, Shantaram, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Poisonwood Bible, etc... Reading is very important to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the amazing opportunity to travel South East Asia by myself for six months. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I am able to remind myself that I climbed Annapurna, so I can do anything :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have my Master's in social work and for the past two years have specifically worked with the mentally ill. I really enjoy that population and feel confident in my knowledge and skill base to work with that community. I am always willing to discuss the helping profession and really find it interesting how other countries respond to social workers and social service agencies.
