CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

My friends would say that I'm very passionate about certain topics and values. Social justice, the environment, and sustainable business are high on my list. I love to learn about all types of things and I crave the variety in life. I strive to be open minded, thoughtful, and considerate (my momma would have it no other way!). My friends have also said that I am extremely reliable - I keep my word and I do what I say I'm going to do.

If you like Meyers Briggs and Strength Finders, then I'm an INTJ and my 5 strengths are Achiever, Learner, Input, Focus and Belief. I geek out regarding personality tests.

PHILOSOPHY

Take risks. Be spontaneous. Stay true to yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed at several places around the world. Happy to be a part of this great community.

Interests

Traveling is one of my passions and I've been fortunate enough to go to different countries ( Antarctica is the last continent to conquer). I care deeply about human rights and the environment and I am looking to harness business for social good. If the activity is related to the outdoors, I'm all over it. New things always intrigue me and so I actively seek out new experiences. I recently tried bungee jumping and paddle boarding- both are great! If you have an REI membership, then we're instant friends.
