I am back in Europe (round 2) with my motorcycle and plan continuing my travels here or possibly in to the Middle East, Russia, Asia or Africa! I am usually very random and spontaneous with my routes (so I apologize in advance for last minute requests)!

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as an independent, fun and adventurous woman! I seek the greater things in life and I always try to be optimistic, open-minded and non-judgemental.

I have many goals and aspirations in life. I will one day travel the entire world seeing and experiencing all life has to offer. I am thankful for my friendly, social, spontaneous and adventurous personality, which assists in my random excursions!

I try not to take anything for granted, and I appreciate even the simplest things in life. I am always thankful for everything I have and the people I know. I am very generous, and I have an extremely caring heart. I will always go out of my way to help someone out or make someone smile :)

What makes me unique is my positive outlook on life, and my dedication and determination of success and happiness. I always try to go above and beyond in all that I do! I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures, religions and ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have over 10 years of couch surfing experience, not directly through couchsurfing.org, but through other websites and spontaneous travel encounters.

I love meeting fellow adventurers and travelers, it's a beautiful community we have created!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2016/2017- Rode my motorcycle through 8 countries in 3 months over 5,000 miles through Europe and Northern Africa! Beautiful adventure, to be continued!

2015/2016- Rode my motorcycle through 9 countries in 6 months, over12,000 miles from Alaska to Panama in Central America! Fun and crazy adventure!

In 2013 I spent an entire year backpacking Australia! I did a lot of work exchange and volunteering on animal farms all over the country! Traveled to 5 of the 7 states while in Australia!

2010 road trip across the United States of America! I spent exactly one year driving through the lower 48 states (spending approx one week in each state)! Then I backpacked Alaska in 2011, and went to Hawaii as well (all 50 states in about 1 year!).
It was a journey like no other. I had the opportunity to see amazing places, do things I've never dreamed of and meet wonderful people all over the country!

My goal is to keep traveling as much as possible, living my life to the fullest, and gaining knowledge of myself and the world we live in, all while discovering new ways to contribute to a positive, educational and inspirational future for others 😊. I love to listen to other people's life stories and also share mine as well.
