Happiness Engineer that improves the world one smile at a time. Also a bubbly, compassionate, driven, honest, dancing, singing, traveling health nut.

I live life with no regrets and do my best to appreciate every moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've learned a ton as a Happiness Engineer cultivating my company's culture for the past two years and am now ready for my next adventure!

I've always wanted to travel for a year and knew that if I didn't set a date for it it would never happen. I studied abroad in London for 6 months a few years ago and knew I wanted to experience being a global citizen. Thus, I'm embarking on my trip October 19th and traveling till ...? I'm keeping my plans flexible to be open to whatever's meant to happen. I'm hoping to meet new people, see/learn new perspectives and become the best person I can be.

After traveling, I hope to open my home to other couchsurfers :)

Interests

Singing, dancing, hiking/exploring (we have two legs so might as well use them!), eating, being people-glue, listening, being grateful and compassionate. Oh, and Boggle, Scrabble and puzzles #nerdlyfe

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loving with all my heart

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes please :). I'm an information sponge and love learning new things!

No matter if we chat/meet or not, I hope you know that you're an amazing, unique individual. Remember to smile, appreciate the moment, and serve others. Express how much you care to the people you love and cherish-- we never know how long we have on this incredible planet. Everything happens for a reason, and every small thing you do has a ripple effect on others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My passion is health & wellness. I'm a certified health coach and plan on becoming a personal trainer and group fitness instructor later this year so that I can help people truly love themselves inside and out.

So, I'd be happy to help you in improving yourself in any capacity I can, be a listening ear if you need, or make you a mean snickerdoodle (I love baking & cooking!).
