CURRENT MISSION

To live in the moment.

ABOUT ME

I'm a big fan of food, laughter, and relationships. I'm definitely what one might call a "people person" - I thrive off of interacting with others. As the middle child of seven kids, family is extremely important to me. We are a rowdy bunch, with big personalities, lots of laughter, and love that’s overwhelming. Dinner conversations are quite a spectacle. Jesus is my savior, and thank goodness for that! I am a people person and enjoy investing in those around me. I enjoy learning new things. From simple tasks, such as cooking a meal, to larger life lessons, it’s all exciting to me, and I love taking advantage of opportunities to discover.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow down. We live in a world that oftentimes tells us that we need to be busy, always achieving, always striving for success. However, in the mess of that busyness, we forget to simply enjoy life, to enjoy each moment. It's important to take the time to relax and enjoy others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing, but I hope to be able to learn about various cultures and to learn from others what they feel life is all about. I am looking forward to being able to share my thoughts and opinions with others as well. We all have completely different life experiences, and sharing them with one another can only enrich our lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to couch surf. I'm looking forward to my first experience. I have several friends who have participated and have loved it, so I'm thrilled to be a part of this.
