I'm a Florida native "Southern girl" who has been living in Korea since Fall 2015. I had a very sheltered upbringing, and knew little of the world until I grew some balls and moved across the world on a whim. Now I've got a fire under me to explore as much of the world as I can and learn what many will never have the chance to.

My absolute favorite part of traveling is eating. Any time someone asks me for travel tips, I automatically spout off my favorite restaurants. The best meal I've ever eaten was in Hoi An, Vietnam. Ask me about it!

I collect a fridge magnet and a rock from everywhere I travel.

I'm content for a quiet day at the beach with a book, or a loud night at a local dive bar with live music. I can happily entertain myself and wander, or explore the region with a friend. I'm always open to new experiences.

I'd love to try your favorite beer/wine/cocktail/local spirit. Let's tell some stories!

I'm not a smoker, but my friends are, so I'm fine being around it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard way too many amazing stories from friends about their experiences on CS. I'm looking for unique and authentic travel experiences with cool like-minded travelers and locals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make amazing guacamole if you can find some ripe avocados and a good jalepeno!
I also make great chocolate chip cookies from a secret family recipe that I memorized when I was around 8. I can't teach you how, but I can make some great cookies!

I love learning about local eating customs! I'm fascinated by the "culture" of eating that is seen in different parts of the world, from how the meal is grown, to how it is prepared, and finally to how it is eaten. Eating is such a special bonding ritual, and I want to know more!

(can you tell I love food?)
