ABOUT ME

I spend most of my time thinking about what it would be like if I could fly. I don't really know what my purpose is, so lately I've been reminding myself to just ENJOY THE RIDE. Always thinking about what my next experience will be. I tend to go back and forth between structure and chaos, the city and the country, working hard and traveling. I love lounging and relaxing but I also thrive on the energy of being in motion and not knowing where I'll end up next. I like throwing myself into the unknown, and leaving my comfort zone is important to me because its the best way to grow and learn. I'm calm, humble, and able to adapt to most situations and places. My favorite things in life are riding bikes, swimming in nature, and dancing/screaming along with hundreds of other people to my favorite music.

PHILOSOPHY

People are people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You can come hang out with my friends and I, and we will show you our favorite places! And depending on my living situation (which changes often) you can crash on one of our sleeping surfaces. I love being able to share/trade things with people, I'll always have something to offer or trade.... food, clothing, items, beers, stories, etc...
