An adventure-driven travel enthusiast in search of new cuisines, friendships, experiences, and stories from across the globe.

I have traveled on and off with my boyfriend, Donnie, from 2014-2018. Now we are living in Nashville, T.N. and finally able to host fellow travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing, when used correctly, is a wonderful way to meet friendly people who share a similar curiosity and compassion for others.

While traveling, we stayed with locals from different cities around the world to learn about their life, their home, and to share fun experiences. Now we would love to help host other travelers as they visit our home.

Interests

The more I travel, the more my interests expand! I find it exciting to share a passion with others and I am happy to teach any of my interests.

I could discuss traveling, movies, and cooking for hours! My favorite drink is tea (herbal, green, black, you name it) and I really enjoy reading a good book. When I am not relaxing I love to be outdoors doing any type of activity, but mostly hiking :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After hours of climbing in high elevation, reaching the top of San Luis Peak (over 14,000ft) in Colorado, USA. It was the furthest I ever pushed myself and it hurt, but it also felt fantastic to conquer that mountain. And the view was spectacular!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about different cultures, food, and careers. I would also like to learn Italian and Spanish and more songs to play on my ukulele.

I can teach English, tennis, card games, board games, and cooking. My boyfriend and I can tell you almost everything you need to know about Nashville. If we are free, we can also show you around and take you to some of our favorite places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from traveling, food (I love to cook!), and music from my ukulele :)
