About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be able to say I have traveled the world before I turn 21

ABOUT ME

I absolutely love traveling and learning about different cultures and meeting new people. I'd consider myself outgoing, super friendly and at times have those awkward turtle moments.

I try to live in the moment, and if an opportunity arises I'll be the first to take it. I've worked with Coca Cola for the Vancouver2010 Olympics and hopefully working with London2012 also! Otherwise I guess I'm just considered a student.

By 21 I hope to have traveled the world-thoroughly, then by 25 somehow be a successful business women. You gotta dream big right?

PHILOSOPHY

Dare To Dream- My mantra.
life is short, enjoy it to its fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just couchsurfed in glasgow! Gotta say, couchsurfing is AMAZING. You meet the coolest people and its just a great experience. Also hosted once, and you definitely get to learn a lot about people. I've been recommending couchsurfing to all my friends, yet some still think I'm crazy for doing it :P

Interests

Time to time I crave the adrenaline rush, I love snowboarding (nothing beats a weekend in Whistler or the Alps), windsurfing, skydiving but then again a nice relaxing evening watching a movie is always one of my fave things to do. Jersey shore anyone?

Oh yah I love long walks on the beach ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a kindle (named Ken) so once I start reading a book I just cant put it down! Call me a nerd but I love business/marketing books, but I also love reading murder/mystery novels!

I LOVE watching movies! When I was in Vancouver I'd watch at least 2 or 3 movies in theatres a week!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer I had the opportunity to teach children in the slums of Mombasa, Kenya. Definitely my most memorable experience that changed my whole perspective of how to live my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn how to cook better (I once confused tablespoon and teaspoon and lets just say that was disaster!). If you love learning about different cultures I can definitely teach you about life in Kenya, China, Canada and of course Ireland!

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Egypt, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, South Korea, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
