Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Leave only footprints, and meet amazing people along the way.
ABOUT ME
I love traveling, mostly off the beaten path, and I'm one of those people who would seriously consider quitting her job and dropping her life to go do something awesome in somewhere awesome.
And I'd like to think I'm generally easy to get along with.
In the past few years, I've been experiencing some of the biggest adventures I've had while staying in the same city. I can't wait to see whats next.
PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy in life is shown through actions.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I haven't in a long time! Not for a few years, but I definitely need to get back on it. Excited to meet new, amazing people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've met a lot of people who have couchsurfed before, whether my friends are hosting them, or they just become my friends! I've surfed once, and haven't hosted yet, but I'm hoping to host once I get my home situated. Excited to surf more too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Summitting a 13,000ft mountain in the Andes outside of Cuenca with three Ecuadorian middle schoolers, a couple of guys and a 60 year old German grandmother.
And getting into the French Open for FREE after a Parisian security guard pitied me, since I was gawking at everything around Roland Garros.
And watching the Sierra Leonean Parliament ratify an agreement to build an industrial park that I was helping design, and realizing that I was a part of Salone becoming a member of the global economy.
Quitting an arguably good job to pursue work that inspired me.
