About Me

I live to love. I believe every single person has value and is worth our love and I strive to live my life this way!

Lived in VA for the past few years, now traveling around for a few months exploring, meeting people, and figuring out what’s next for me at this crossroads in life. I have a tendency to not stay in one place for too long, but I'm learning that there is also a weird comfort that comes from planting roots somewhere. I currently work at a non-profit that seeks to aid local, low-income high school students in post-secondary education opportunities. I love working with people, and I hope to own my own business/non-profit one day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a passion to travel, but not a lot of money to do so. Couchsurfing allows me to see the world, meet new people, and save money!

  • meeting new people

Music, Movies, and Books

books: two of my favorite authors right now are Donald Miller and Shauna Neiquist. To me, they have an interesting perspective on life and they don’t force their opinions on you, they just share their story and it naturally impacts mine! Also 100% a Harry Potter nerd.

music: I love folksie music that makes you want to jump in the car and go on a road trip. I also love raw, spontaneous worship music that sounds like you’re in the room with the band.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back in 2017, I went on an 11-month backpacking trip around the world where we volunteered with different organizations in each country and lived with locals. We went to 11 countries throughout Asia, Africa, and South America and my favorite thing about it all was meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and seeing the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you what I've learned about other cultures throughout my travels, and how I view the world because of it. As far as learning goes, I always love to learn about people's perspectives on the meaning of life and spirituality.
