Hello there :) I began traveling by myself almost a year ago, and since then have adopted the belief that solo travel is my teacher, therapist, and most powerful catalyst for personal growth. I am somewhat of a quiet and introverted person when I first meet people, which sometimes causes me to feel lonely in my travels. At heart, I really am a person who deeply craves and values interpersonal connections with others. I am hoping to use Couchsurfing as a tool to overcome my social anxiety and be able to more fully absorb the places I travel to, and their cultures. I want to form meaningful relationships with the people who live there.
Some things I am passionate about are acoustic music (writing and listening), emotional intelligence, empathy, animals, nature, human rights, psychology, and of course, travel!
I would be grateful for you to welcome me, and for your compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, and have a more authentic travel experience. I want to become more empathetic and a better person.

I am NOT on couchsurfing for hookups. I’ve learned this is something that needs to be disclosed. If you are, that’s completely fine, but please regard this message and treat me with sincerity. I am a solo woman traveler looking to exchange culture and experiences that are non-sexual. Thank you 💜

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m planning my first solo trip around the world, beginning in Fall 2019 :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share ideas in existential type conversations, and discussions where we dive deep into self awareness and reflections on why we are who we are.
I love to learn about how people experienced their childhoods and development, and what life was like for them in their towns/cities/countries.
I also would love to get a view of where I travel from the eyes of my host, if they are able :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Empathy, meaningful conversations, and I’m very tidy. I always clean up after myself and you’ll never see a dirty dish when I’m around :)
