CURRENT MISSION

The world is my oyster-- now where's the pearl? I'm living in Seattle but my heart is in Europe.

ABOUT ME

I'm filled with wanderlust and cravings for adventure, drawn to the foreign and the discovery of all things new. I love home wherever that may be, but I'm prone to wander. Living to the fullest, loving to capacity, learning by experience. Capturing moments in time.

I moved to Seattle four years ago after traveling the world for a couple years. I miss the traveling, but am ready to have a job I love. I can't wait to meet more couchsurfers and to travel vicariously through their stories and energy. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to experience it to the fullest, to learn from others, and to make a difference in whatever way I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met and stayed with several couchsurfers on my round the world trip a few years ago, and those experiences were some of the best I had! I've really enjoyed having couchsurfers stay with me here in Seattle!

Interests

Photography, sign language and interpreting, dancing of any kind, Thai and Indian food, the stars from the middle of the ocean, places with a view and an atmosphere, the city, cobblestone streets, sunshine, naps, meeting people from other countries, learning other languages, staying up late, riding in trains, the moon when it's only a tiny sliver, making a difference.
