About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wish to expand my mind and push my boundaries with new Cultures, Art, Food, Knowledge, and Religion.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going open minded person. I enjoy spending my time event planning and curating new art events. Support local artists! I love making those around me happy. I always enjoy meeting new people and sharing great stories and having good conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Life Begins Beyond Your Comfort Zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
- I have hosted quite a few people so far and have loved getting to know people and share my culture with them. Human interaction is beautiful and I love leaning from people. Couch surfing has helped me make some great friends!
- From what I have experienced as a surfer I have loved. Having people open up their homes to me and sharing culture with me has been a beautiful thing. I know what it means to be respectful and a good guest. I've come to learn that even more about being a good guest and taking care of guests as I have worked in hospitality MGMT for the last 3 years.

But I am here to meet people and experience life from different angles and points of view.

Interests

I love good music, movies, art and all things related. I work as an event planner for a local ski resort and plan all their summer concerts and theater performances.

I also love the outdoors and am an avid skier and rock climber.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am the founder of a nonprofit organization in Utah that highlights and promotes local artists through events and networking them with other like-minded artists.

Last spring we held a Utah Student Film Festival highlighting local filmmakers and donating all the funds back to the local arts community. I loved meeting with local artists and helping them get off the ground.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very low maintenance but I love a tight ship. So I m happy help washing dishes and other cleanings that need to be done.

I am also a great listener and an easy person to talk to. I am open to all different cultures and love learning and sharing culture.
