ABOUT ME

I grew up as an Air Force brat living all around the world and I have caught the bug. I'm studying Anthropology and love my current job and get really excited about going to new places and being out of my element.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to do it, do it. "If you wanna sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, 'cause there's a million things to be, you know that there are"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My dear friend just signed me up for her flight benefits so that is definitely fueling my fire to travel even more so. My job is semi-flexible so I can sometimes jet out last minute. That being said, I do have a great roommate, but I only feel comfortable hosting at our home when I am there myself to host and meet guests.

Interests

I am a dancing queen! I love traveling (duh). I have a collection of funny wigs/costumes and I think it's so fun to pretend to be different characters. I love film and volunteer at different film and art festivals in the community. I am a corporate manager of a restaurant group so I am very passionate about food and the culture that is coupled with each bite. I am fortunate enough to be able to travel (with flight benefits), and lucky to own my dream home in my charming home town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite days of my life was spent in Guilin, China. We rented bikes and rode through the mountains that inspired Dr. Suess, swimming in mud caves, hiking, then a river ride under the stars and fireworks with a sweet family that mistook us for celebrities.
