About Me

I want to one day travel the world on a soul's journey, looking for experiences that are healing, lively, fun, and looking to connect with people in a heart-felt way. I love dogs and desserts. I love cooking and chicken. I try to be nice to everyone I meet. My goal is to be nice to people even if they are not particularity kind to me; who knows, they might just be having a rough day. I love music and have profound respect for those who can play music, though I gave up the piano after five years of trying to learn when I was 12 years old. I've always thought I'd get back to learning it, but that day hasn't come yet. I am very selectively open-hearted. I like talking about feelings. I like art and appreciate the creative process. I think I am easy to get along with.

I can't host you at the moment because of my living arrangements at the time of writing this. I will, however, be able to host 1-3 people at a time after August 2018. Please do not send me requests until then! 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"A stranger is a stranger until he becomes a friend" - I saw this somewhere, and this quote gives me so much hope! :)

I love people and they are the reason I desperately want to travel! I want to have experiences with people around the world. I want to give back while learning a new language, having camaraderie, and enjoying a slower pace of life. I like the community that can possibly be built through couch surfing. I want to have friends all around the world. I think I will absolute love seeing a place from the eyes of someone who lives there. I love sharing about my culture and learning a new one.
