About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding depth in puddles

ABOUT ME

I'm a nonstop wondering wanderer, and I feel it is time to explore the miraculous world around me. I consistently wear a smile on my face and am constantly reading. I read at least three different books at a time, one always being a "useless facts" book. It's not that I get bored, one usually just inspires me to pick up another. I appreciate awkwardness and embrace randomness.
Everyday I find a new place I want to explore and a new culture I want to immerse myself

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh at yourself. Laugh. A lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly have surfed, but now that I have my own flat I can host, well most days.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting people through CS has been one of the most rewarding parts of traveling. Not only do you get to see the area from a more local approach, but also you get to hear their story and about their life. Nothing is more beautiful than connecting with someone in such a personal way then carrying on with your life.

Interests

Conversations. Coffee. New places. Wine.
I love the outdoors; walking, biking, swimming, and recently snowboarding (though my face met the ice more than once), caving, crawling, climbing. Anything.

I like to be on the go. I like to have down time. I enjoy sitting in the rain. I'm up for adventure of any sort.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in Big Sur, California. My friend and I made it to the top of the mountain just as the fog was rolling in but below us. The night sky was full of beauty and stars, full of wonderment. It was that beautiful moment when you realize "ah, this is why we exist."

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm constantly learning so much from others.
Need some help with learning about the human body? Nothing grosses my out. Really. I promise.
I need some help on my Spanish.
I enjoy listening so share your stories with me!
