ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old American currently living in Tampa, FL. I'm working on my Master's Degree in Linguistics and English as a Second Language, hoping to teach English to non-English speaking pilots someday! I love traveling and discovering new things. My next travel destination is Brazil in June 2016 followed by Russia :)

I'm respectful, clean, and can have a good time with almost anyone. I'm very relaxed and easy going as well. I love music, films, reading, dancing, laughing, and being outside!

PHILOSOPHY

When the door closes, search for a window.
If you can't find a window, buy a sledge hammer and make one yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled all over Europe, mostly in my early-mid 20s. I'm excited to explore other parts of the world like South America and Asia.

I love couchsurfing for the opportunities to meet new people and remain a part of the active social network of backpackers and wanderers.
