CURRENT MISSION

To find my place in this world

ABOUT ME

I grew up on the east coast & moved to the west coast for college. Studied abroad in Germany for a year. Just graduated with my Master's degree a few years ago. I work at a local university advising college students in the residence halls.
I've been traveling all my life. I'm a definite fan of the old-fashioned road trip, as I've driven/ridden cross country over a dozen times in my life.
I have a passion for education and traveling. I've made that my future, helping college students realize how amazing study abroad is!

PHILOSOPHY

In life? Learn from those around you & keep an open mind.
In travel? If you have your ID & some $$, you can figure it out when you get there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I, myself, haven't couchsurfed or hosted at my own house, my parents are very active in the couchsurfing community. I've watched a few sporting games, and grabbed coffee once or twice with a few surfers visiting San Diego. I hope to become more active, as I am now doing a bit more traveling now that I am out of school.

Interests

Meeting new people, discovering new places. When I am at home, I run and enjoy the outdoors of the Pacific Northwest quite a bit, visit with friends and explore the local area.
