About Me

CURRENT MISSION

explore the world, meet new people, grow both spiritually and intellectually.

ABOUT ME

I laugh, smile, dance, and sing (off-key). I live for sunny days and am desperate to travel the world. I drink lots of tea and enjoy going for runs. One day I might own my very own cafe and/or be a special education teacher and/or be a social worker, but in the meantime I'm enjoying every aspect of being a college graduate with only a few serious responsibilities.

PHILOSOPHY

"What do I really want from life?"
"I don't know. Probably a lot of things."
-The Double Life of Veronique

"...human life occurs only once, and the reason we cannot determine which of our decisions are good and which bad is that in a given situation we can make only one decision; we are not granted a second, third, or fourth life in which to compare various decisions."
-The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed for the past four years whenever I've had the opportunity; it has made all my travels so much more exciting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing was probably the best thing I could have started doing when I was abroad. I was able to meet such amazing people and see the best parts of every city I visited. I recommend it to all my friends for their upcoming travels and use it wherever I go.

Interests

Practicing yoga, swimming, dancing, laughing, reading, basking in the sun, long walks, red wine, vegan treats, urban farms, exploring, chatting, making flashcards, playing with kids, figuring out what i want to do with my life.
