As a cook I work a lot and barely have time for friends or family, unfortunately, but that's the industry life I chose. I live with my boyfriend Ryan, who is also a cook, and we have 3 beautiful cats. I love to travel, and I do when time and money permit. I have always been a wanderlust and am excited to join a community of like-minded people. "Don't run from anything, run towards everything."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love to travel FRUGALLY and I prefer the real cultural experience that you share with this, rather than the lame "stay in a hotel with people who are all exactly like you" idea. My door is always open for people, however until we move this June, our apartment is WAY too cramped for guests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music, except for most electronic type stuff. But my style is dance hall, Soca, hip-hop, oldies, and musicals.
Movies, I enjoy watching but it's hard to have "favorites" so I guess it's more the genres. I love horror and dumb comedy (like super troopers and idiocracy.) And maybe some sci-fi.
I have books a plenty but my favorites are "man's search for meaning"- Victor Frankl; " Do they hear you when you cry"Fauziua Kasinja; "waiter rant" ; "stumbling on happiness" ; "the hot zone"

Countries I’ve Visited
