I have a love for exploration, adventure, culture, and food!! I couldn't imagine a life that didn't involve trying to see the world. I am interested in discovering the magic in new places and the people that call that place home. Currently I am working on my travel writing and adventure photography. I would love to some day work as a scientific writer for National Geographic. I am a gentle and free spirit, who loves to learn new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason I couch-surf is because I am a people person, and I love making new friends with different outlooks on life. I think the best way to learn is through encounters. I don't think coincidences bring people together, if you pay close enough attention you will start to see the message in every meeting. The other reason is that I am a nomad with very humble funds, but it seems as long as I am willing to share with others I always have enough :) I really appreciate all those that open their doors to share space with people on this site!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love music, I have a favorite song in maybe every genre (not sure about heavy metal). Currently I am loving Hozier and Sylvan Esso.
My favorite movie of all time is Ace Ventura Pet Detective! Also in my top five... Fight Club, Clockwork Orange, Harold and Maude, any Johnny Depp movie. Comedy is my favorite, the only thing I don't watch much of would be sappy love stories haha (I rather laugh than cry any day!).
Books....I read anything that finds me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done lots of things I find to be amazing, I live to do something amazing everyday! If I think about an experience that really made me proud of myself...it would be hiking 20 miles in and out of the Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawai'i! I really had to push myself, but it was an amazing and rewarding experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need is sorely on these accounts." - Mark Twain

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my outgoing, kind, and sometimes silly personality, my experiences and stories from around the world, and my desire to serve. I love to be of assistance. If someone is going to take me into their home I will do everything I can to make their life more convenient while I am there. I love to cook and am willing to help anywhere I am needed.
