CURRENT MISSION

Live a technicolor life!! =)

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think my best friends would say I'm fun-loving, laid-back, personable, reliable, kind, open-minded and open-hearted. I love learning about people through the stories they tell, and would love to hear yours!

I think travel makes the world a more cohesive global community, and we should help one another in any way possible in achieving travel aspirations.

PHILOSOPHY ON COUCHSURFING

I love thrifty traveling as much as the next Surfer, it's true!

But Couchsurfing should be viewed as more than an opportunity for free accommodation. It's special, and as a community we need to ensure it stays that way. Do not send me a generic message blast looking for a host; it's rude and will be disregarded. Show me how awesome & unique you are and I promise to do the same. :)

And on that note! ~~~~~~~~~~~

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." -Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed throughout my backpacking trip in Europe, and like to pay it forward by hosting whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Couchsurfing! It's definitely provided me with some stories to tell. And that's what Couchsurfing is really about, isn't it? The experiences you garner, the unique people you meet, the friends you make... I love the spontaneity of it all.

I started my Couchsurfing career in Tampa and am looking forward to the next chapter in Clearwater!

Your life is your story, write it as you see fit.

I'd hate to imagine mine without Couchsurfing being a part of it!

Interests

I love getting involved in my community and I'm a volunteer for a variety of causes. Other interests include all things Floridian: boating, scuba diving, kayaking, swimming and tubing... just being near the water does wonders for the soul.

I also enjoy running, going to the gym (spinning is my first love, yoga is my newest interest!), walking Kellan, traveling... and of course, hosting!

I love learning and sharing travel stories as well, and am a very willing listener to any knowledge someone has to share.
