About Me

CURRENT MISSION

celebrating every day

ABOUT ME

I got the travel bug after I graduated high school and lived in Costa Rica for a year with a host family through the Rotary Club.  Since then I've done a couple other study abroads in Oxford, England and Mendoza, Argentina.  I graduated from Westminster College with degrees in International Business and Spanish.  Each day is a gift and I want to live it intentionally and apprecicate everything about it.  It doesn't matter if I'm traveling or working.  I like to laugh, dance, drink good beer, and connect with people! 

PHILOSOPHY

Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Attitude is everything. You're responsible for your life and decisions, be nice to everyone, and be up for anything at anytime. It doesn't matter if you are traveling or at home.  Having an open mind and living life intentionally is the key to happiness! There are only two ways to live your life.  One as if nothing is a miracle, the other as if EVERYTHING IS. - Einstein

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been fortunate to stay with some amazing couch surfers across the US during my year road trip with my sister.  I loved hanging out, eating dinner, drinking and spending time with them to get to know about the area.

It's also been great hosting travelers while I'm not able to be on the road as much. Love hearing stories and sharing experience with fellow travelers.
