I am an outgoing chick who loves dancing, travelling, playing instruments, and the outdoors. I'm a bartender, dance instructor, and feline enthusiast. Because of my food service industry background, I can have a conversation with pretty much anybody about literally anything - and I really enjoy it. When I travel, I like to check out museums, local restaurants, local breweries/distilleries, hiking trails, ghost tours/creepy places, bodies of water, and the quirks about a place that make it unique. I seek out my favorite things to do in hopes that I meet people with the same interests.

This is my test to see if you actually read this. I will only stay with women or couples, and I will only hang out with women. Hosting or hanging out offers from people who do not fit this demographic will be ignored. I also only accept friend requests from people I actually know.

I'm really looking forward to the experience of meeting new people in the cities they love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be solo backpacking through Central Europe in June 2018. I'm looking to couch surf so I can meet new people in the places I visit and learn more about where I'm staying. For me it's important to meet the people who live in the places I visit - and now, more than ever, I think it's important for people around the globe to connect and learn about each others' cultures. The world needs more love and understanding.

Interests

I really love hiking and camping. I'm no master hiker or anything, but I enjoy a good rugged trail with beautiful views. When I'm not hiking or camping, I'm either reading a memoir or trying to tackle the jungle that is my backyard. I've grown to love gardening lately. When I'm not doing any of these things, I may be taking a nap (really good at that), dancing, or daydreaming about the next place I want to travel to.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is quite eclectic - one minute I'll jam to folk and the next Cardi B. I love fiction and non-fiction books about women's lives throughout the centuries. My movie recall is terrible - I can easily watch a movie for the second time as if it's the first, which is actually pretty fun. I currently enjoy streaming The Walking Dead on Netflix - I'm on a zombie/post apocalypic kick right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked on a live lava flow in Hawaii at night. It was one if the most amazing things I've ever seen.
