CURRENT MISSION

Seeking education outside of a classroom, and succeeding in enriching my life through travel. I'm currently driving through the west with my boyfriend John Henry in my trusty Subaru Legacy, enjoying a few weeks of being unemployed before moving to Alaska to work at a ski area.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a big town, and have a passion for the natural world. I appreciate the beauties and challenges of both these settings, and enjoy interacting with both people and landscapes. Traveling has proved to be the most effective way for me to learn and be compassionate!

PHILOSOPHY

I would love to leave the world a better place than when I arrived, whether thats through positive vibes, or environmental awareness. I know that's cliche, so what?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the future, when I have a stable living situation I would love to host couch surfers. I am currently traveling or living with my parents.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a few couches, across the US, and have hosted many exchange students throughout my childhood. I am fortunate enough to still call some of those people my friends after almost 10 years!

音乐、电影和书籍

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I can feel entertained by many types of media. I haven't read much for pleasure since I started college, but I hope to change that someday soon. I enjoy books that I can learn from.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When I was 15 years old I traveled with my adopted brother to where he grew up in Mongolia. Having the chance to see with my own eyes the contrast between my life and a truly hard existence taught me more about life than I could have ever hoped to learn in a classroom. It taught me how to be grateful more often than not.

教，学，和分享

I love learning and hearing stories from other travelers. In general I learn that, with a little common sense, you can always have a good experience traveling and meeting complete strangers. The positive vibes are contagious! There are truly wonderful people out there, and interacting with them by chance can turn into fascinating stories, and fulfilling friendships.
