About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the natural beauty that the world has to offer, and meet some happy people along the way!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Bloomington, IN (the cultural oasis of the midwest!) I love to travel, and my ultimate goal is to go to all of America's national parks. I have a lot of joy and I love to share it with others. I love food, nature, whiskey, and people. I'm 22 years old and just beginning the great adventure called life. I've lived in Indiana my whole life, but plan on moving to Colorado this summer! I love to hike and kayak, horseback ride, swim, bicycle, pretty much anything outside. I love meeting animals as much as I enjoy meeting humans.

PHILOSOPHY

Celebrate life, live in happiness, share peace. Life is a beautiful journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the couchsurfing community, and very excited to get started. I currently don't have a couch to share, but am willing to meet any travelers for coffee or to show you around B-town! This is a really really special place. I am also looking for a couch in the near future. I am planning a move to Colorado over the summer and would like to explore the area first.

Interests

I love the outdoors. Get me to the beach, mountains, forest, or rolling hills! I also love food and cooking. I love meeting new people, and having a good time. I love to connect and share energy with people. I have a lot of happiness in my life and I love to spread it to others. I love going out dancing, especially if a good raggae band is playing! My favorite thing to do is laugh. I laugh every day, many times a day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Henry David Thoreau is my favorite author.
"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each." -Henry David Thoreau

Stephen Hawking is my second favorite author.
"When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have"- Stephen Hawking

I really love all music. I especially love blues, folk, raggae, and bluegrass. I love guitars, violins, harmonicas, hand drums, banjos, and beautiful voices.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of Multnomah Falls in Oregon. It was absolutely beautiful!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, and will cook for anyone who will let me!

I would really like to learn how to identify wild plants that are edible.

I am always willing to share a smile, a conversation, and a good laugh.
