About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To look at a world map and be unable to find a country I haven't been to

ABOUT ME

I'm just a simple girl living in a digital world. International Trade degree with a minor in German, (I have my certificate to translate.) I LOVE video games, Sci-Fi and exploring.

As to what I do... well, more or less I am a part time/freelance roadie. I've worked various Front of House for many bands/edm concerts/festivals. I also moonlight as a handler for Comic Cons and probably have a story or two about your favorite tv actor. It's an interesting life.

Also, I love giving thank-you gifts to people who host me. You can expect yummy snacks sans razerblades. ;]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host, I surf, I tour guide through the city.

When I host I loved playing tour guide and making sure every surfer had a customized experience around Louisville.

When I surf I like to try new experiences and see the city the Host calls home as much as possible. I want to experience it all!

WE LOVE FIRST TIMERS! I was a first timer and I remember how hard it was getting a host. However, if it is your first time all I ask is that you take the time and effort to fill out your profile (no one word answers, please) and some pics. Its that easy!

I am not picky about your reasons to send a request: sometimes you are passing through and need a spot to crash for a few hours (totally been there myself), other times you want a temporary bestie to show you around and do cool things with, or you have your own plans and need a place to rest but still want to get to know your host. I'm open with all styles of couchsurfing.
You do you, boo.

Interests

Doing cliche tourist things, doing not-so cliche tourist things, wandering around downtown areas for hours at a time, eating at hole-in-the-wall restaurants, listening to stories, chasing my cats around, playing too much video games, card games, going to cozy beer gardens, riding my bike along the river, going to see live music.

Music, Movies, and Books

In TV:

Mythbusters, Modern Marvels, The Universe; Breaking Bad; Star Trek; Mad Men; How its made; Anime; Stand up; Futurama.

Movies:

Scary movies freak me out. I usually like to numb my brain with Comedy movies. Or get all worked up over a thriller.

Music:

I know its cliche but I like musicians with talent. I can appreciate all genre of music. If the song is good, I'll listen to it, no matter what the style.

I, however, lean more towards downtempo and pretty, airy ambient. Oh, and can't forget sad boys with guitars (yes it is a genre!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll never forget the day I saw the curve of the earth from the window on a plane. It was the most insanely beautiful, amazing thing I have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be yourself, be open and above all be willing to give and take. Each hosting is a chance for great friendships to bloom. Always go by the classic 'treat others as you wish to be treated'.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A damn good time

Countries I’ve Visited
