I'm an educator by profession but a student to life! Travel, art, music, literature, and making brilliant connections with new people is what I am all about. I have boundless energy and am always game to do pretty much anything. I'm trying to see as much of this big, beautiful planet before my time expires and experience everything I possibly can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, the place is only half of the magic. Meeting new people is my most favorite thing in the world! By couchsurfing, I have a chance to meet people in the area and get a local perspective, as well as make new friends.

Interests

Everything and anything that has to do with the outdoors, sunshine and water sports, watching movies, dancing or experiencing live music, festivals, art of any sort, writing, learning new things, exploring... pretty much everything and anything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done is going to Hong Kong when I was fifteen year old. My friend's mom was living there and I worked as a counselor in training to save up for the plane ticket and spending money. The trip itself was so incredible, but it was also the experience that instilled in me an unquenchable wanderlust.

Teach, Learn, Share

Empathy. I don't have much to offer, but this I can always give to everyone and anyone.

If I could learn anything, it would be a couple of languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very warm, open-hearted person, so I can share tons of love and laughs! I'm also helpful around the house and a very good vegetarian cook, if I do say so myself.
