ABOUT ME

I love adventure more than anything. I'm laid back. Explorer at heart. I want to see as much of the world as I can, as everyone should. I recently graduated with a Environmental Science degree and a Geology degree. I love learning from people, cultures and new experiences. My favorite things are the ocean, mountains, bonfires, meeting new people, dancing, rock climbing, hiking, riding my motorcycle, reading books and taking pictures of amazing places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to build my credentials here since I will always be a traveling free bird at heart. I want to travel as much as I can and when I have a place I can also lend a hand to fellow travelers. I want to share my stories with the world and I want to learn from the world. Wisdom is everything to me.
