Originally from Detroit, MI who was born in the wrong part of the world. I moved out here to be next to the mountains. I am a camper at heart! In the "real world" I am a hard, dedicated business woman who likes to enjoy life to the fullest! I am an easy going, open minded, "down for anything" kind of person! I enjoy great times and am a firm believer that great times come from the right time, the right place, with the right kind of people!

I want to travel the world! I was slightly embarrassed when my profile advertised that I had only been to 3 different countries! Hopefully soon I can travel this amazing planet of ours!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet awesome new people (preferable those who know the area and would fully immerse me in the culture), share great memories, and learn from everyone I meet!

Interests

Reading, cycling, climbing , hiking, going out with friends, meeting new people, cooking, discovering new things, intellectual conversation, beer advocate, and more... Wayyyy more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been many places, and have some great stories but my best trait I can offer is compassion. I tend to be a caring individual and I really want to learn about the world, others' perspectives, all while having fun!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help cook, clean, be an open ear, etc! I also would love to learn everything you have to offer! I am a sponge waiting to absorb your wisdom on the area!
