Any opportunity to learn something new, explore a canyon, climb a mountain, I'm in for it. Last year one of my best friends took me to Europe for two weeks and opened the wonderlust floodgates. I want to experience the world off the beaten path that will connect me with a unique and individual story. I am on a trip backpacking through Europe who knows what could be next... North Africa, and South East Asia...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m wanting to expand my network and learn about culture around the world. I love meeting new people and connecting. Learning is an exciting process and I’m wanting to share that with other people.

A very close friend of mine introduced me to Couchsurfing as a way to connect with locals on my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent the last five years working with a non profit mental health organization where I was able to outreach to the community and help those in need. Many of my experiences here were about showing people how to navigate community resources and find stability in life while managing chronic mental illness. Though a tiring profession, this experience helped me to shift my views of of community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've always wanted to learn to fly a plane, however I've never really found myself on that path. Learning for me is not just picking up a book but more living it.

I have many stories to share and if I have anything I can teach it is how we people can impact one another in the smallest way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great Company! I also love to cook provided there is a kitchen and a supermarket close.
