CURRENT MISSION

to balance work and school and life and not go broke

ABOUT ME

I am outgoing, social, and enjoy a healthy debate. I travel a lot with my program and really want to help give voice to those who are underrepresented. I live with my South African boyfriend and our teenaged foster daughter.

PHILOSOPHY

People are inherently good; they just need the support and opportunity to make good choices.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host and utilise hosting on occasion.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on many a couch, bed and floor. One of my favourite memories was tenting on the modest property of a kind Mozambican family. They laid a red carpet in front of our tent entryway and put a toilet lid on top of the pit latrine to make us feel welcome :). I have also played host to people from various places throughout the years.

Watching the full moon rise as the sun set opposite on a camel trek in Rajasthan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've travelled and lived in many different places and learned a lot about culture on the way. Always happy to share stories, tips, faves, etc, and eager to learn more about new places, languages, and worldviews.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fun-loving personality and some interesting dialogue. I'm always keen to hear all sides to a story.
