CURRENT MISSION

to explore this world and leave something better behind

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a very small town in the middle of some beautiful mountain ranges and didn't leave the country for the first time until I was 19. I've completely fallen in love with traveling and meeting new people, and I'm starting to build up experiences of my own to share (anything you want to know about life in Jordan, I'm your girl).

PHILOSOPHY

Each person has a story to tell, and you're not living life unless you take the time to listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just returned to New York after more than six months away from this city that I love. I am excited to begin helping couch surfers here, whether through offering up my (limited) couch space or introducing others to this crazy place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing took me on the most incredible adventures through the UK (and even a brief stop in Germany) this past spring. I shared cups of tea, evenings out in London, baking successes and, of course, stories from around the world with the most amazing hosts I could possibly have asked for. I desperately want to pay their kindnesses to me forward!
