CURRENT MISSION

to live life to its fullest and be present

ABOUT ME
I grew up in Northern California around grapes, winemaking and organic growing things. I love hiking and all things outside. I'm currently pursuing a BFA in ceramics at UM in Missoula.

PHILOSOPHY

live, laugh, be honest, and give, and always keep active, continuing to move forward, learning new things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a permanent home I'm at, I make it available for travelers, and I enjoy traveling to meet new hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once in Cork, Ireland, with some of the sweetest people I have ever met. They welcomed me into their home with lots of good laughs..
In Salzburg, where I stayed at a very sweet lady's home, and went on a gorgeous hike to a waterfall.
And in the south of the US of A, meeting some sweet people.
I have also hosted a couple of travelers at my home.
