ABOUT ME

Optimistic, environmentally friendly, conscious, curious, yogi, surfer and world traveler.

I am a really laid back outgoing person that loves to learn, read and stay active. I'm most known for my big smile and happy attitude. I love to backpack, camp, snowboard, longboard, bike, wakeboard, wake surf, swim, mountain bike, play soccer, go out dancing, lay in the sun, listen to good and live music, do yoga preferably outside, see as much of the world as i can and to learn and grow as a person from each moment and struggle i go through in all that reality has to throw at me.

PHILOSOPHY

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Life is full of ups and downs but through it all i just try to live it up and enjoy every moment while it lasts. I throw my whole heart into every single thing I do and try to make as many people happy as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first started using CS when I was going to backpack the east coast of Australia. I had no clue how to get around and knew that the locals would give me the best advice. I was right. I dont know what i would have done without CS. Australia was the first big trip I did on my own with no help and if it wasnt for Martin's help in Sydney I would have been lost with no idea of what to do. He showed me all the great features CS has to offer and I was finally able to begin my backpacking journey. Unfortunately I will not have a couch to offer because I will be traveling for the summer, but as soon as I find a home in Seattle when i return, I will gladly share it with whomever needs a place to stay!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Backpacking along the east coast of Australia I made many lifelong friends as well as plenty of moments I will never forget! My first experience was being hosted by Martin Schwank in Sydney! This was awesome because he was hosting another girl and she ended up being from Poland so I was able to practice my Polish with her!! My next stop was in Port Macquarie where I met one of my favorite characters ever in Aussie. Chris Long had a beautiful home in the middle of the rainforest and i will never forget all our fancy homemade meals, our fishing boat ride, and all our swimming and lounging in the salty OZ seawater! I also had another amazing host in Arlie Beach. Glenn was an excellent host helping me try to find a sailboat ride out to Whitsunday Island. Without him I would not have been able to see those islands i dreamed of ever since i was a little girl. Pretty much everyone who hosted me was absolutely wonderful and i made lifelong friends and had many positive experiences!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked the east coast of Australia from Sydney to Cairns and back. Best trip i have ever done in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Something i would like to pass on would be a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. I hope my smile and laughter is inspirational and teaches people to love life to the fullest. If one has a passion to learn in the kitchen I love to cook and get people to fall in love with vegetables and discover the wonderful things that you can do with them! i can teach you to crochet headbands and beanies or make necklaces and bracelets out of hemp!
