CURRENT MISSION

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.

ABOUT ME

I am in love with knowledge and am always learning and trying new things. I love to meet new people and always appreciate a good conversation. I am from the mountains of North Carolina, so naturally, I love to be outside hiking, climbing, skiing in the winter, and swimming.

PHILOSOPHY

"Get busy livin' or get busy dying!" (INSERT MORGAN FREEMAN'S TANTALIZING NARRATION HERE)
But seriously...
We only have one life, so live it and live it good. Take risks, fall in love, be unreasonable, overdo it, "go there", laugh a lot, have a purpose, be passionate and love everyone...simple!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I LOVE HOSTING AND TRAVELING. YOU HOST ME, I HOST YOU...it's just one big cycle of couchsurfing love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used Couch Surfing first when I studied abroad in Arica Chile. I stayed with someone in Santiago for a week, met her whole family, who ended up being from Arica. Couch Surfing made the world so much smaller for me and has made my travels so much richer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
