CURRENT MISSION

"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." -Jeremiah 6:16

ABOUT ME

I consider myself kind, open, and easy-going. I love to share conversations about culture, experiences, faith, and anything interesting! I'm a returned Peace Corps volunteer from Peru, and the experience opened my eyes to all things culture, religion, family, friends, independence, maturity, and spiritual growth. I'm very inquisitive and like to learn about others.

PHILOSOPHY

I hope to always be a kid at heart and never stop exploring the world around me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a few couches while living in Peru and backpacking through South America. I've hosted a couple of times, and I enjoy that, too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experience was in Colombia, and I had a wonderful time. I love that the hosts show me parts of the cities that I wouldn't have visited otherwise! It really gives a unique experience to visiting a foreign place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Uyuni Salt Flats in southwest Bolivia has the most breathtaking and diverse landscape I've ever seen. You go from jutting mountains to grassy plains to smoky geysers and more in a matter of a few miles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about Peruvian culture and food since I lived there for two years. I'd like to learn to dance salsa, surf, and cook.
