CURRENT MISSION

do inappropriate things in appropriate places

ABOUT ME

I like to travel, meet new people and have fun in lots of new places. I like to think I'm an upbeat person who is in love with food, beer, and coffee. I enjoy puns, casual racism and hanging out with those who appreciate sarcasm. If you give me a reeses peanut butter cup, I will be the happiest girl in the world.

By day I'm an environmental educator, which mostly consists of me telling kids to man up whether it involves high ropes, hiking a steep hill or touching a frog. But I do love the feeling of teaching kids how to appreciate the outdoors and basically get paid to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

I would rather have dessertification than desertification

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing makes me happy and, as soon as I settle down in one cozy spot, I plan on hosting to my little hearts' content

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing made my European adventure 1000 times greater than it could have been and has made traveling the US a lot more interesting!
