CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find where I belong in this crazy beautiful world. I am currently living out of a backpack, by choice! I got rid of my apartment 4/1/14 and have been wandering the Earth since.

ABOUT ME

I love life! I always look for the positive in every situation, and I always find it. I don't waste much time being anything other than happy.

I'm very laid-back and easy-going, but love to get out and experience new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been wandering for over a year now and somehow I've only used couchsurfing a few times. It was such a great experience though! I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, especially open-minded adventurous people that open their homes to strangers. I really like to get to know the culture of a place and I can't think of a better way than to stay with a local.

Interests

I love being outdoors and active - taking walks, bike riding, rollerblading, hiking, etc.

Photography is one of my favorite hobbies.

Live music makes me feel alive, and "the four right chords can make me cry."

Swing Dancing is so much fun!

Stars, Fireworks and Rollercoasters are a few of my favorite things!

Music, Movies, and Books

Into The Wild - book and movie, inspired me many years ago to live a life different than society expects.

I like almost any type of music, especially if it's live. (Except death metal, that's just screaming not music.)

I love attending music festivals, the energy that radiates from all the happy people is invigorating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently witnessed my sister give birth to her first child.... I can't believe how incredible we humans are.

This year I spent 2 months volunteering and living on a farm in Costa Rica that was also a monkey and wildlife rescue center. It was an amazing experience and I learned so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn a new language, especially sign language

I can teach you how to swing dance if you'd like

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, stories, good energy :)

Once I find a part of the universe that I don't want to leave, my couch is your couch.
