About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share an experience around the globe with all kinds of people.

ABOUT ME

I love people, traveling, reading, and great experiences. I'm not a partier, but I know how to show people around and have fun in this city. I get joy from the little things in life and love to share that with everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Christian and lover of all kinds of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only couchsurfed a few times, but it was a blast! For now I'll show people around if they want and look people up when I'm in their countries. I'm getting my place ready for if people decide to come to Beaumont.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a lovely time couchsurfing in Greece, and I also loved my group in Istanbul. We'd get together for picnics and soccer games. I hope to go back and see then when I'm in Turkey again.

Interests

I love meeting and getting to know all sorts of people. I have friends from all over the world who have made me interested in traveling this amazing planet we've been given! I also love to cook, so please introduce me to your favorite foods!
