Hello!:D I am so grateful for communities like this one where open-minded and caring individuals can come together and meet. Traveling, hiking, climbing, trying new activities, reading, writing, and having down-to-earth conversations fulfill my life. I am a happy-go-lucky self starter. I have an entrepreneurial mindset, care about social service issues, am sometimes vegetarian, and live by my morals. I always love meeting new people, so message me if you would like to chat!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe everyone should have the opportunity to travel on a budget. It makes me sad when I see people I care about choose not to travel somewhere, due to financial concerns. I've stayed with other hosts in the past and would like to provide that for others as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy alternative music, which is the lazy way of saying I like pretty much everything. The only music I am not really a fan of is most country and scream-o. Taylor Swift and system of a down are exceptions:)

Pursuit of Happyness
Lord of the Rings
And anything by Will Smith

My Side of The Mountain
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Predictably Irrational

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have an unofficial world record in hula hooping: the fastest 1/4 mile run while hula-hooping.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have read dozens of books on productivity, time management, and stress reduction . I also took courses on these topics in India and am always happy to share what I've learned.

I am learning Portuguese along with drumming.

Sharing stories and adventurous locations are things that I am always excited to do with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always happy to cook, do dishes, laundry, and of course lend my ear to others' wisdom and stories.
