Oh hello there :) I'm Hope. I love meeting new people an learning all about their culture. Spending 6 years in the military has given me a few opportunities to do just that. Now it's time to venture on my own terms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience culture from a local's perspective, not just a brochure. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to meet those eager to lead the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

*I'm not picky when it comes to music. If it sounds good, I'll listen. If I had to choose favorites, I'd choose blues/jazz & soul. Also, nothing beats a live performance.

*The only movies I'm reluctant to watch are horror films. I pretend to be brave but 9 times out of 10, I end up watching through my fingers. Other than that I like a good comedy, thriller or action film.

*My book collection is comprised of mostly thrillers and murder-mystery novels. So far my favorite has been the Max Revere series by Allison Brennan.
