About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To appreciate more, make the best drip coffee, become an Occupational Therapist, meet new people and tinker with ideas about the world and about myself.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy visiting national and state parks - my favorite so far is the hike through the Narrows at Zion National Park. On my free time I search for the perfect cup of cappuccino. This upcoming August, I will be moving to Washington DC to study Occupational Therapy. Don't know what it is? Meet me and I'll tell you! I love meeting new people and hearing if they got any good ghost stories to share with me.

PHILOSOPHY

- The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.
- Be a global citizen!!
- It is your choice to have a good day today :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I started couchsurfing in Germany, I was truly surprised and humbled through the experience. The opportunity to have a close friendship with someone in another country made a huge impact on me. It was fascinating to learn about the different values and lifestyles someone else had while sharing my own. Couchsurfing allowed me to bridge my curiosities and create positive memories with others.
