CURRENT MISSION

I would like to broaden my horizons, visit new places, meet new people, and travel the globe to gain greater earthly perspective.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 29-year-old psychology nerd who wants to change the world. I graduated with a Masters in Counseling and Clinical Health Psychology and I am currently coordinating a research study on parenting while enacting underlying societal change, however that might be.

PHILOSOPHY

"I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances." ~Martha Washington

This quote is exactly how I try to live my life. The ability to look at life from multiple perspectives is the key to a balanced existence. I strive to help others achieve that same balance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted several awesome couch surfing people over the years, and I'm also about to reach out to some kickass Europeans who would like to host me during a trip in August 2018. So far these are the cities I'd like to visit in August:

Reykjavik (Iceland), Dublin (Ireland), Glasgow and Edinburgh (Scotland), London (UK).

Please message me if you'd like to host a super chill American! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted several couch surfers and they were all pretty rad.

This site rocks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtripped 9hr overnight to Sweetwater, Tennessee to see a full solar eclipse! It did not disappoint. Magnificent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am well-versed in most things psychological, adept at understanding others' states of mind, and I especially enjoy helping friends and family improve their interpersonal (and INTRApersonal) relationships. I can teach you how to throw a frisbee, the basics of beatboxing / vocal percussion, and some new board games that I've been playing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mi casa es su casa. You'll have 1 couch, 1 love seat, a shower, towels upon request, and access to our kitchen. You're welcome to cook and use our cooking supplies as long as you clean up after yourself and make some for us :)
