Hey you!

I like to refer to myself as an adventuress--mainly because I find traveling to be very empowering for women--who are often told to think twice about their decisions to wander and explore. I'm a recent college graduate, and have always loved traveling; even before I could walk. The experience to see different cultures
keeps me hungry to learn and reflect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to this community and have heard great things about it! As a student, this platform accommodates well with my financial situation, while allowing me to meet other travels and hosts who believe in sharing authentic experiences.

Interests

Besides traveling, I love painting, drinking teas, playing my uke at the beach, photography, and planting succulents. Occasionally, I like to relieve my childhood and build a fort! Yet, this is just a list of what "I love" that continues to grow each day.
