CURRENT MISSION

Experiencing the world, meeting different people, being happy

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and get out of my comfort zone. My goal is to experience many new things and meet other people who are curious about the world. I love to read. I love learning languages from the people I meet. I love sharing what I know. I love good food! I love being in nature, but I love cities too. My favorite places have elements of both. I love to WALK! Forever and ever if I could! I also like to drive. I like moving through time and space. I love music. I love my friends and good books and my family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a couple times in the American South when I was on a cross-country road trip with three of my best friends. We had an amazing experience getting to know the people we stayed with, learning about the region from them and swapping stories. It was a great way to experience a place in a short amount of time, and also a great way to make friends.
