i'm a friendly, excitable soul who lives to travel, connect, make music, dance. i open myself up to this world as much as i can. this past year i traveled through south america and fell in love all over the place. i learned about chosen family, and that as horrible as this world can be, there's fierce beauty and generosity around every corner. now that i'm back in the states, i still can't sit still for long. i'm not sure of much except moving and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because boundaries and borders break down, and people are give such a unique chance to connect and share with otherwise strangers. CS saved me so many times, and it's behind many great friendships
