About Me

ABOUT ME

After graduating from college I worked in my field for a while and enjoyed it, but now I am ready to pursue what really makes me happy, which is exploring new places and meeting new people...

PHILOSOPHY

I am a very positive person and like to be surrounded by others who are as well. I want to live a life of no regrets and sure don't want to leave any stone unturned... so let's go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was just introduced to CS by a great friend and can't wait to get involved. Soon I will be heading off for my own travels, but until then I hope to be able to share my couch with some awesome new people. I live in a really cool little beach town with lots to do so I would love to be able to share it!.... Update... I am officially now living in Korea and loving it! I can't wait to keep exploring the rest of Asia!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I attended several events after learning of CS while I was in Philly helping to take care of my mom before she passed. I met some great people and look forward to meeting many more!

Interests

I LOVE learning and experiencing new things. New places, people, cultures, and experiences excite and fulfill me more than anything. I love to laugh and have a good time so I will never turn down the chance to go out for good company,food, and drinks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My time in Australia 10 years ago was life changing. I spent a few weeks living with a family and volunteering at a wildlife park. I also spent some of that time plus a few more weeks exploring the country and engaging with as many locals off the beaten path as possible. For the first time I went repelling, white water rafting, scuba diving, and skydiving, just to name a few. When I returned to the US I got my skydiving certification and hope to jump in as many countries as possible! I also love scuba diving and am loving going on dive trips throughout Asia. The US is a wonderful country in many ways, but I feel my calling is to be elsewhere.... in as many places as possible!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share stories of culture, travels, adventure, and some good laughs. Also, I love to cook (and I am told I am pretty good at it), so I would be happy to cook you a dinner if you want :)
