CURRENT MISSION

To Embrace & Release

ABOUT ME

I am full of wanderlust. I love to travel and explore. I write excessively about my experiences and especially my interaction with the people I meet along the way. People intrigued me and have inspired my current pursuit of a career in counseling psychology. I live in Seattle. Though I don't particularly enjoy the gray skies...I thrive on the creative and intellectual energy pulsing in this great city. In addition to being a grad student I am about to part a position as the Admissions Counselor at my institution. I look forward to the opportunity to travel around the U.S. making connections and meet potential students.
My favorites things to do involve throwing creative dinner parties, sitting/reading in parks, trying new restaurants/cafes, enjoying live music, listening to lectures/author readings, promoting non-profits...etc...etc...

PHILOSOPHY

Exuberance is bliss.

I am captivated by life and all that we hold as we encounter each day and one another. I bring creativity into every aspect of my life. Each day is my canvas and I love savoring the textures and colors. I thrive on a plethora of diverse things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the CouchSurfing world...but have spent a significant period of time traveling internationally. One of the richest bits of travel for me as been connecting with people around the world. I feel quite blessed to have established some lasting friendship. I especially enjoy the hospitality and solidarity shared amongst travelers.
