Traveling is my greatest passion in life. I learn something from every conversation. Some of the best conversations have been while hosting or surfing. I love learning about other people, and sharing a bit about our own country.

I really enjoy cooking, and some of my favorite memories are cooking with guests.

Check out "my home" section for a few basic ground rules. I only accept guests who have read the ground rules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My primary mission on Couchsurfing is supporting female travelers, particularly those who are brave enough to travel alone. Let's be honest, women face greater challenges when traveling, so my goal is to help them in their journeys by providing a safe place. I tend toward hosting international travelers because the cultural exchange is what I really love about Couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to help out our hosts however possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a friendly person who tends to be pretty flexible. I can either have an evening with a host hanging out and sharing stories, but I'm also comfortable doing my own thing.
