CURRENT MISSION

To continue to enjoy every moment I can experiencing new things in this awesome world.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and I love meeting people! These are the things that lead me to couchsurfing. I grew up in the American MidWest and moved to the Seattle area in 2005. I love the scenery here!

PHILOSOPHY

I love getting outside of the daily routine of life. I believe this is where the most meaningful connections are made with people. I love building in flexibility into my trips to give myself a chance to go off the beaten path and see something, experience something, or meet someone a normal tourist might miss.

Interests

I enjoy tennis, traveling(of course), meeting new people, and enjoying new experiences.

• traveling
• socializing
• hiking
• bungee jumping
• tennis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went Bungee Jumping in Macau, China off the Macau Tower in 2012, that was pretty exciting! I also did a few jumps from Queenstown, New Zealand in 2015.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about the US and also emotional intelligence. While getting my Masters I took a hiking trip to the Italian Dolomites with a group of classmates for an emotional intelligence class. It was a life changing trip and I love sharing the experience with people.
