About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking the time to pause in the pursuit of happiness and JUST BE HAPPY!

ABOUT ME

I'm a city girl (from New York City) that simply loves traveling! I am very outgoing, adventurous,love socializing and meeting new people from different walks of life and eating food from different cultures!

After a life-changing volunteer trip to Thailand when I was 16 I realized that I had to follow my heart and travel the world learning about different cultures and volunteering for important causes. I am currently a Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Moldova and am loving the experience. I work at a community center for children and youth from socially vulnerable backgrounds and help implement new projects and lead activities.

My life goal is to visit every country on the Earth...I'm determined to make it happen!

PHILOSOPHY

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?''' Martin Luther King Jr.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live with a host family in Moldova thus it is very hard for me to host people but I am more than willing to show people around Moldova as I love meeting new people! I plan to host when I return to New York City. I would like to couch surf as I continue traveling during my time in the Peace Corps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed once in Amsterdam in 2010 unofficially and it was an INCREDIBLE experience. Truly enjoyed learning about the city through a native's perspective.
