ABOUT ME

Hello! What's there to say about me..
I love to travel obviously, as cliche as that sounds on this website.. but I really do. I'm fortunate enough to have good friends to travel with, but I also venture out on my own at times. I've met amazing people from all over, and have had some of the greatest experiences of my life, thanks to Couchsurfing! There's so much more to me, but I’m not the best at writing about myself.. so you'll just have to discover what a treasure I really am in person.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offering my couch to those travelers in need.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've made great connections and have shared some remarkable experiences and have created life long friends with fellow couchsurfers! Locals are the way to go, and being submerged in their community and homes is the most humbling and satisfying experience ever.

Movies .. way too many to list. I need to leave areas for us to talk about.. I can’t disclose everything! ;)

12 mile hike in Anchorage, Alaska and seeing sights only dreams have captured.
Caye Caulker Island, Belize, watching the sun come up over the Carribbean in the middle of no where.
Paragliding amongst the Himilayan mountains in Nepal.
Backpacking the entire east coast of Australia in a week and a half, couchsurfing the whole way.
Doing absolutely nothing but drinking fernet and sunbathing in a beautiful ranch house in Argentina.
Riding through all of Bali on the back of a scooter wearing an over-sized helmet.
Eating snails I accidentally ordered in France, typical tourist.
Island Hopping the Azores Islands
Waking up next to roaring glaciers in Iceland.
