Moving around frequently while growing up taught me to appreciate the fresh start that every day can bring - the sparkling potential for anything, it's up to us to make it happen. Everyday I try to do something new, something outside of my comfort zone, something that expands my comfort zone. And every now and then I stay on the couch all day reading and watching netflix.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent my formative years dreaming of travel and have recently begun to realize these dreams. I'm currently studying abroad in Madrid and am looking at this as an opportunity to become connected with this amazing city as well as become acquainted with all of you and your incredible cities. I firmly believe that experiences are made up of the people with whom we have them.

My current living situation does not allow me to return the kindness of opening up my home, but I look forward to doing so in the future!

Interests

Why walk when you can dance your way down the street? I've never met a dog that I don't wanna roll around on the floor with or an ice cream shop that isn't calling my name as I walk by, pause, and immediately turn around. I also love to laugh and will giggle at the simplest of excitements in life (such as puppies and ice cream).

Writing is an absolute passion as well as photography, books, exploring (aka getting lost), good food, making new friends and catching up with old ones, engaging conversation and soft blankets
