CURRENT MISSION

Stop worrying and just do it!

ABOUT ME

I'm the youngest and only girl of 5 children. I loved growing up in a huge family, but right now I'm exploring the world and creating the person who I want to be. Recently, I graduated from university, and am now an English teacher volunteer in Chile. So far, this experience has been amazing and I can't wait to explore South America more! Eventually, I want to do something in International Law, but until then, I want to see the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is absolutely what you make of it. So follow your dreams, do something you never thought possible, but above all, make it meaningful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed a bit when I was in Europe on a Study Aboard Exchange, and have hosted a few times in the US. Currently, I'm living with a host family during my volunteer service here in Pucon, Chile, so I don't have a couch to offer, but I would love to meet up with people and show them around in the little time that I am here. In the next few weeks, I will be traveling and hopefully couchsurfing. When I do go home to the states in August, I would love to give back to fellow couchsurfers and have them stay over. Bring your travels to me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had only positive, wonderful experiences with couchsurfing. I couchsurfed a bit in Europe a few years ago and was constantly surprised by everyone's generosity and enthusiasm. I have also hosted a few times and honestly, it has been so much fun meeting people from all over the world who just want to make new connections and really get to know a new culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Deciding on a whim in Europe to take a train to Paris for breakfast and then getting stuck there for the day.
- Watching the sunrise over Notre-Dame with only a handful of people.
- Getting lost in a tiny town on the French Riveria late at night with a bottle of wine and a banjo.
