CURRENT MISSION

Live. And have stories to tell.

ABOUT ME

I'm a easy-going, kind, polite, appreciative and optimistic 23-year-old who just graduated college and now wants to travel the world. I'm all about trying new things and love meeting people. I'm currently tutoring English in Italy!

I love music and hopefully I can do something with my Voice Performance degree that isn't just serving coffee.

Although I do love black coffee, tattoos, desserts, craft beers, and fresh foods.

I grew up in Colorado, moved to DC for high-school, then Seattle for college. I've lived in Turkey and now Italy. I'm a granola hipster who eats vegetarian, loves rain, has and wants more tattoos, indie rock/live music, and wears thick rimmed glasses.

Outside of work and travel, I enjoy reading, journaling, going to concerts, hiking, running, watching bad TV, and night-life with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to meet people: to hear their stories, struggles, joys. I live to be apart of people's lives in a meaningful way, and I live to allow people to do the same for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel I don't want to just visit monuments and eat at restaurants. I travel places to get a feel for what it would be like to LIVE there, which is why I joined CS.

When people come to Seattle, whether I am hosting them or just showing them around, I want them to understand what it is like to be a Seattlite, not just a visitor. I have been blessed with hosts who have done the same for me.

I'm not here to give or receive reviews or to just crash in a place for free. I'm here to meet people and learn about their lives.
