I am a very laid back, fun-loving, carefree individual. I get along with almost every single person I meet and am friendly and considerate to all people. I am spontaneous and am always down for a good time. I seek adventure and welcome new experiences and opportunities. I am ambitious and determined and want to get as much out of life as I possibly can!

I am a 33 year old female. I'm pretty much a mutt when it comes to my ethnicity, a little bit of everything; Irish, Polish, Greek, and German. I am the oldest of 3. I have a younger brother, Cavan and a younger sister, Taylor. I come from a fairly large family, both of my parents coming from a family of 5 and each of my Aunt and Uncles having had children, so a lot of cousins; a majority of which live on my street. I am very family-oriented and am blessed to have such a strong support group.

I have the most beautiful shar-pei X Bailey who I rescued. She is my baby and has traveled across the country with me . She is extremely laid back, some would call her lazy, perfect tempermant, a little shy/skiddish, but gets along with almost anyone and any animal.

I have a passion for conserving our world's wildlife and natural resources and am currently pursuing my career in this field. I've volunteered as a sea turtle research field technician in New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida. I was an Animal Caretaker Apprentice at Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation in Kendalia, Texas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WANDERLUST! I love to travel! and would prefer to do it on a budget while meeting new people!

Interests

I love to laugh!

I love to dance, moving however the music makes me feel. I've been dabbling in hooping a bit, I'm not that great, but I have fun doing it!

I enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, sports (basketball, football, volleyball, frisbee, hula hooping), anything outdoors.

I love live music, and need to go to more concerts and festivals for sure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would also be willing to pay you monetarily if interested, as long as its not as costly as most hotels are.

I love to cook and it would be my pleasure to cook meals for you.

I can clean your place.

I can offer you good company with some adult beverages if that interests you.

And most of all my gratitude!
