Hey everyone!

My name is Kimberly and I love to travel and experience culture shock. Currently I am studying Behavioral Psychology here in my home state of Washington. I seek adventure with the opportunity for growth. Catch me outdoors on a mountain where I like to spend most of my time either in snow or sunshine. I equally love the beach just as much. Learning and creative expression is a passion of mine and I seek like minded souls that know how to have fun:) I am also pescatarian and am very passionate about culture and food. I will be traveling to Paris and Spain for the summer so I hope to find some hosts that share a big love of food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't believe that cost should deter you from experiencing the world. Travel expands the mind, feeds the soul and gives the opportunities to meet friends all around the world! I think that learning is one of the greatest gifts and if we are here to help one another why not help each other see the world?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing action I've taken in my life thus far would be taking the time to get know myself. I see so many people here in the States that just don't know how to slow down. For me, I find I am happiest when I am doing things that make me happy. It's a life long journey of knowing and loving oneself, I believe travel is one component that grants me the ability to learn from other people and cultures on how they view and perceive life.

Another exciting event in my life would be traveling on my own at the ripe age of 15. This was my very first solo trip to Lima, Peru which then inspired me to travel and study in France 3 years later!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An abundance of joy and laughter that I hope to spread to each individual I meet! I hope that our meeting can blossom into a beautiful friendship that lasts a lifetime. I'm ecstatic to meet you and share some of me and can't wait to listen and learn about some of you.
