CURRENT MISSION

To visit as many countries as possible, making friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a down to earth, friendly person. Once you get to know me, you'll see I have a silly, quirky sense of humor. I have an office job during the week and work catering events on the weekends to save extra money for traveling. It's the best 2nd job to have. I basically get paid to help out at weddings and parties.

I'm getting a late start with couchsurfing, but better late than never. I want to get out of my comfort zone and expose myself to new and different cultures, people, and places. I want to make connections and see life through other people's eyes.

I know I don't have many reviews on here yet. I can always send the link to my Airbnb reviews.

PHILOSOPHY

What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. - Jane Goodall

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a friend of a friend in Atlanta. She showed me around the city - all the great local spots. We ended up becoming good friends.

I recently went to Europe for the first time and stayed with a great guy named Karsten for 3 days in Vienna. While the rest of my trip consisted of staying at hostels or B&Bs, I did meet up with a couple other people from Couchsurfing while visiting Amsterdam and Dubrovnik, Croatia. It was really nice having someone to get a drink with and walk around the city.
