Hi hii:) I’m an outgoing person and have been backpacking for the past 5 months. I’ve grown up in both the US and Tanzania and I’m really into seeing the world. I graduated university with an International Business, Finance and French degree, and worked in the corporate world for a while before setting off to Europe. Being around people gives me energy, warm weather is the best and I eat ice cream during all the seasons of the year:)

I try to be positive all the time because something good can come out of any situation! I love life and believe there is a learning experience from anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends have couchsurfed and have had very positive experiences. As I travel the world, there’s no better way to learn about a place or a culture than being around people who know it best!

Interests

I love exercising and overall health & wellness with a purpose! I enjoy bodybuilding, playing sudoku, eating lots of ice cream and boxing. Exploring the world is my favorite pastime, especially meeting new people and learning about different cultures…I don’t want to die where I was born;)
