CURRENT MISSION

Participate in making this world as wonderful as it should be.

ABOUT ME

After many years working with nonprofits and in the charitable sector, I feel I have much to see around the world and learn about how helping others is happening elsewhere.

I am a bubbly person that likes to joke around and have fun with new people! I really like going for walks in new cities, grabbing new food, and getting lost, then hopefully finding out way back.

I travel with my husband and life partner, Lex, who is a DJ/music producer but also the brains behind our fundraising consulting business. He is the best for anything barbecue and smoking meat and enjoyed deep conversations about spirituality.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you want to see in the world" as cheesy as that sounds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As travelers, we are mostly the onces couchsurfing! We love having conversations with our hosts, cooking dinner when possible and learning from eachother. We mostly work during the day and some evenings (time zones...) and are very quiet and respectful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While traveling through Central America, I couchsurfed in the main cities and had an amazing experience. I have yet to host but I can't wait to do it once we have our homestead!

Interests

I am a huge nonprofit nerd and love getting to know the local scene, especially when it comes to animal protection or the environment. We also are big techno/electronic music fans so let us know if you want to go dance if it's a weekend, or go for a hike/out in nature, we love both!

I love cooking and trying new foods, I even started a food blog that covers recipes but also sustainable food initiatives. I have also recently developed an interest in art galleries and crafts markets, so many interesting things to find there!
