I'm a bit of a bubbly (if at times bumbling) word nerd with a penchant for learning new things and connecting within and contributing to community wherever I end up. 🤓 They say variety is the spice of life, and I've been enjoying more and more on the daily thanks to the immersive cultural experiences I've been lucky enough to have, particularly in recent years. 💃🏻🌏🌎🌍

Very go with the flow and adaptable, making me a fairly enjoyable travel buddy/guest—so I’ve been told. 😌✨ I have been prioritizing travel, as of late, which has given me the flexibility to join and start plenty of trips with friends and family across the globe. 🤗✈️💕

Happy to explore on my own, but tend to make friends along the way. Will admit I can be a bit of a chatty Cathy at times, always happy to start a conversation—love the opportunity to broaden perspectives and enrich experiences through individual connection. 🥰

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel for immersive experiences based in connection, so I love the opportunity to connect with new folks! Funding travel is also one of the biggest access barriers, so this is positively perfect. 🤓
