Hi there! I'm a bit of a nomad as I've lived in 7 states and 1 country (Spain!). However, a few years ago I moved to western New York and nowhere else has truly felt this much at home to me. As I get older, I attribute my love of travel to the many moves I made during childhood. I've never been used to sitting still in one place for too long, and that's what I prefer. I always like to have something exciting planned, whether it's getting rowdy with a group of friends for a big (American) football game, or traveling abroad, it's something to look forward too.

I'm pretty laid-back, very open-minded, and just like to have a good time. I'm an optimistic person and usually see the good in situations, or just laugh and make jokes about it if it's a crappy one. It is what you make it!

I spent one year on erasmus in Madrid, Spain and it was amazing. I took advantage and traveled to about 20 countries that year - Couchsurfing in a lot of them. There are so many places to see in the world and so little time! I want to see it all and love meeting interesting people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I couchsurfed all over western Europe over the course of a year and became kind of addicted to the concept of it all. I'd love to host in the future but I'm not able to at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started CouchSurfing the end of September 2011 and have had amazing experiences everywhere I have been. I have never had a bad experience and I've met some really cool people along the way. I love it!

Interests

Obviously, I love traveling! But in general, I like dabbing in a bunch things and having different experiences. When I'm home, I'm very social and love going out with friends (bars, concerts, restaurants, sporting events, etc). I like to mix it up, and do random things or go to random events that are unique and out of the norm.

Music, Movies, and Books

LOVE watching movies! My iPod consists of probably every genre with the exception of heavy metal :) I wish I read more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyone always asks me what my favorite place I have visited is. Truth is, I have loved them all individually and all for different reasons. One of my best memories is hiking through the Swiss Alps at the base of the Matterhorn. Is was gorgeous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to crochet! And because I've lived in and traveled a lot of the States in the US, I can give some good insight on my country.
