ABOUT ME

I am an adventurous, caring, outgoing, and optimistic person. Traveling is a passion of mine because I love to meet new people and experience different cultures. I enjoy doing things outside of my comfort zone and love to help people. Working with children is another passion of mine because they know how to have fun and enjoy the simple things in life. There are so many things adults can learn from children and I think sometimes we forget that. I also love nature and the outdoors because of all the beauty that can be seen around the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life with passion. Be adventurous and don't plan too much. Have an open mind and stay positive always. <-- (The Secret) Learn from others and always try new things. Help people and do little things to make someone's day. AND don't forget to SMILE & LAUGH throughout it all. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have tried couchsurfing once in Spain with a friend and we had the best time! During our trip in Spain we met friends of the people we stayed with who later came to visit California! The site really came full circle for me then. That is what couchsurfing is all about, meeting new people, becoming friends, and giving back. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had one couchsurfing experience so far in Spain. I had a great time.
