About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old native to the Pacific Northwest. I like traveling, meeting people, and experiencing other cultures. I graduated from The Evergreen State College in 2011 and have been travelling and couchsurfing ever since. Currently I am living in Melbourne, Australia working for a digital marketing company. I am into political and social change and thinking about the future of humanity. I love food, beer, and hula-hooping! My plans change day to day, and I love flying by the seat of my pants.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had great experiences with CS, traveling, hosting, and surfing. I am passionate about this network of international and interesting people. We are looking for people to stay with us that are interested in the human experiences you get from couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Australia, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Holland, Germany, Italy, and Greece. I have hosted in Olympia WA, and am excited to start hosting in Melbourne. My partner and I met through a common couchsurfing host. We are from different sides of the world but share a common love. I think this is one of the most amazing things about couchsurfing, finding our common humanity and world wide community across borders and oceans.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent three months in Venezuela meeting and volunteering with organizations, photographically documenting, and living among revolutionary people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to share my culture, knowledge, life experiences, and opinions, and would love to learn about other peoples'. I love new situations and new people! I think couchsurfing is a vital and important community where we help each other instead of constantly compete with each other. After all it takes generous people for this to work! Let's do it!! We are looking for people to stay with us that are interested in the human experiences you get from couchsurfing. Therefore if you are requesting our couch please include in your request your ideal pizza so I know you read my profile. Thanks for reading!
