CURRENT MISSION

To Travel the World

ABOUT ME

I am an art teacher and I love what I do. My passions are traveling, meeting new people, painting, writing, photography...and my two dogs.
I've traveled all over Europe, Central and South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia. I am hoping to backpack in Africa soon.
I am originally from the west coast, but am planning to stay on the east coast for a while after studying in New York City.
I'm pretty independent, yet shy. I like to be spontaneous, yet I make big plans. I get far too excited about the littlest things. I often try to take a step back to look at the world around me. I think that everyone just needs a little more time to breathe. There are so many things that I want to do in life and I'm crossing them off as I go along.

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day, in the moment.

I have couchsurfed more times than I can count, all over the world. Each was a surprising and welcoming experience that enabled me to learn more about the country and the culture.

I have had such great experiences with couchsurfing and met some really awesome people. It has always been a wonderful experience and culturally educational.
