CURRENT MISSION

To pursue my own idea of happiness and to really live.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jess and I've officially caught the travel bug! I have big dreams to travel the world in hopes of learning from everyone I meet along the way. I love solo travel and chatting to others about their various experiences abroad!

PHILOSOPHY

If not now, when?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to surf for now and then open my couch up once I settle in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I officially had my first surfing experience during a trip to D.C. I have also travelled through New Zealand, Australia, and Italy with Help Exchange. I loved every minute of it! I was able to work on an alpaca farm, babysit the sweetest two kids I've ever met, learn to garden and meditate, paint a deck patio, and do clerical work at the best hostel in the world!

Interests

I enjoy hiking and just being in nature. New places thrill me because they force me to take nothing for granted, the food, the people, the sites; they are all something to be discovered! I also enjoy reading and hearing of others' travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have seen is the setting sun over the Blue Mountains. Breathtaking every time.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you need to evaluate an integral, I'm your gal! I enjoy studying economics and finance. Okay, let's face it, that's a bit boring, I do love sharing stories about my travels and my love of "jumping off of things". I'm certainly willing to soak up anything you are eager to teach me!
