CURRENT MISSION

To learn and listen. To have fun and dance and smile. To work hard. To follow what I love and let the rest fall into place.

ABOUT ME

I'm a little bit of everything. Calm and funky, real and spunky. I really like to listen to people and hear about their lives. I'm currently learning about how other people live their lives so I can learn more about how I want to live mine!

I love adventure, I love spending lots of time outside, I love doing crazy stuff off of big cliffs while strapped into a board (extreme sports).

PHILOSOPHY

... Thats a long conversation that we could have sometime

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By meeting people and connecting people. By surfing and hosting. I listen, I speak, I remember jokes and tell them to others, I surf... all the time.

I smile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted tons of people while I was going to college in Olympia, Washington, USA but all those host experiences were logged under my close friend and room mate's couch surfing profile. Now I am starting my own.

I have slept on a lot of couches and floors... I have tons of hosting and surfing experience, I just never used this website, old fashioned meeting people and offering them a place to stay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sat with a friend and listened to them while they were having a really hard time... simple as that

She later told me that our conversation literally saved her life by preventing her suicide.
