CURRENT MISSION

to travel the world, learn dances of many cultures, sit around until dawn making new friends, learn spanish and russian, tour bakeries

ABOUT ME

i am a very easy-going and charismatic person and i hope to meet crazy people from everywhere. i tend to be silly and bombastic, but people also know me to be very responsible, efficient and aware in matters of everyday life, interactions and obligations. dancing and yoga fuel my energy and if i can figure out a way to center my future around these activities while avoiding corporate life, i absolutely will. itching to see more of the world after a whirlwind 16 week tour of europe two years ago! in the interim before my next travels, i will employ my two beautiful couches as a temporary resting place for like-minded travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i love to host people! i've always wanted to own a bed and breakfast and this is about as close as i can come to that (for now!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've hosted more than surfed. meeting and talking to new people makes me feel like i'm still backpacking around europe and i love the fresh, diverse energy in my home!
