CURRENT MISSION

To Exercise Independence. To grow as an individual, by experiencing situations outside of my present comfort zone :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a super friendly, super loving person. I love learning about people's culture and I would love to share some of my own (though being American, I fear I have limited culture to share ;). If you take life too seriously, you're probably not my friend. I am extremely respectful, and just an all-around happy person.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to lift the spirits of those around me. To help those in need, and to improve the world in a meaningful way before I leave it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently found out about Couchsurfing as I began planning my first trip to the UK. The idea absolutely spoke to me, so I was very excited when I couch surfed for the first time in Scotland. It was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to do it again and meet more amazing people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite. It was absolutely incredible, and at the time a life-threatening experience, which only added to the meaning that I've attached to the experience.
