About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission in life is to be fearless. Travel. Be creative and adventurous. Try new things and meet new people.
ABOUT ME
Well I am a easy going, creative, photographer who loves trying new things. I have the great desire inside me to wander, to travel the world and to tell a story. I am a crazy, easy to get along with person who wants to make lots of friends. I want to take home memories that will inspire me to never be boring again.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I started my page several years ago while I was studying abroad in Greece. We used my good friends account and met some amazing people!! I love having the option to find a friend in a new place or help out a fellow traveller when they come through my town. I think this is a great community of adventurers and I look forward to future trips!
If you are looking to surf... I share a house with some friends. But we have several couches and two are futons. So just let me know! Give us a little heads up if you can.
Interests
Photography, kayaking, cliff jumping, snow skiing, horse ridding, water skiing, exploring, hiking, swimming, scuba diving, writing, and trying new things.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading and my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK... is the Alchemist. It was life changing.
I love listening to all sorts of music but have a super huge crush on classic 80's rock and roll. I don't care if its cheesy. I also love swing dancing to country and chilling out to electronic.
Movies are my jam and I am super addicted to Netflix. A Knights Tale is easily my favorite movie though.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Skydiving was probably one of the coolest things I've ever done. It was so freeing and exhilarating. Flying above the clouds I felt like a bird.
Teach, Learn, Share
I was planning on staying with a friend at his place outside of Venice in the quaint little town of Vicenza. I was traveling alone and when I got there his plans changed dramatically leaving me with no place to stay. An Albanian family offered to let me stay with them. Now to be honest I was super uncomfortable at first. They spoke no English... and I spoke no Italian. It was awkward at first but they cooked for me, I helped clean up, we google translated a few things and I danced around to some pop music with their two girls. I quickly found that laughter is a universal language and the time I spent with their amazing family was hands down the best part of my trip. People are good.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am an honest friendly person who loves travel. I am so thankful to anyone who is hosting I am always more than happy to help cook, clean or just grab a beer. I love sharing information about my home state and love it when you can offer information about yours. Food, hikes, cool things to see... you name it and I will listen!
