About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep learning and traveling.

ABOUT ME

Energetic, friendly girl that loves to try new things. I love playing team sports, cycling, skiing, being outdoors and reading (dislike t.v.). A couple of my favorite things to do is going to see live music or drinking beer with friends.

I quit my banking job last year for an around the world trip. Visited 33 countries, 6 continents and made countless new friends. I now live with my boyfriend, Brian, who is almost as well traveled as me and is equally friendly and outgoing.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't live to work, I work to live. I'm still trying to incorporate this in my life a bit more as its easy to fall into the expected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host from time to time. Unfortunately busy schedules makes it difficult to commit very far in advance. Sometimes a last minute request is better for us. My experiences surfing have been nothing but positive! I love the local's perspective and particularly love it if the host has time to run around with me (not to the super cheesy tourist sites - I'll do that on my own to spare you seeing it the 100th time) but to the funky little bar on the corner or the little known restaurant that all the locals eat at and most of all for the conversations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive, Positive, Positive!! I recommend it to people all the time!
