CURRENT MISSION

wear down all my shoes: dancing shoes, running shoes, hiking boots, climbing shoes...

ABOUT ME

Grew up in New York City and was a city chick for most of my life but after living in Gothenburg, Sweden for a year and moving to the Bay Area in California - I have seen so much more than what was in my 8.5 million populated bustling city. I have been grateful for every opportunity to meet someone different and learn something new, and be active.

As for me, I'm am a traveler, a dancer, a scientist, a student, a teacher, a climber, a outdoor adventurer, and hopefully someone much more each day.

Be ambitious. Be active. Spread positivity. Give appreciation.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been to several CS meetings during my time abroad and it's a wonderful way to bring people together! I've met many fellow CSers through my travels. I've also hosted occasionally in Sweden - a long awhile ago. Now I try to chat with local CSers, get beta on local places and tips about the area, see what makes them love the city they are in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing really brings a level of interaction that I normally wouldn't encounter on my travels. I'm less afraid to travel alone and be out of my element. It's a way of meeting some of the most wonderful people and everyone bonds over the mutual idea of generosity and hospitality. But I've surfed quite often through some of Europe - Holland, Norway, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Austria.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Every mountain peak I've climbed so far has never ceased to impress me.
