I am a positive, open-minded person that can find beauty everywhere I go.
My goal is to encourage those I am surrounded by to grow and be the best "them" possible. I think the world would be a better place if we all gave at least three compliments daily

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to share stories and connections with people from around the world while exploring their culture. I have realized that the connections I make with other travelers are so incredibly deep, so quickly! One day when I have a home of my own, I hope to host other surfers and get them to enjoy the culture and sense of comfort in a home... wherever that may be!

Interests

I am a travel bug and I love encouraging others to go out there and see the world. I enjoy being outside, listening to music, and learning every day.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am open to all music.. I'm just not into really heavy metal. I am interested in reggae, swing, jazz, big band, swing, older rap music, music with positive lyrics, oldies...
I really like Forrest Gump (I secretly love Step Brothers too). I enjoy watching documentaries, especially relating to the environment and small changes we can make to help improve our beautiful planet. I also really enjoy TedTalks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in an unfortunate event back in 2014, broke my hip and shoulder, lived in bed and a wheelchair and didn't know when I would walk again... And now I have been exploring the world since I quit my job and joined the backpacker life in February 2015. BEST. DECISION. EVER.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share everything from laughter to positivity to encouragement to food and everything in between. I make really awesome guacamole too (as long as avocados are at a reasonable price).
