About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Voyager!

ABOUT ME

I live in Berlin but I have also lived in Peru & Mexico, along with my lovely hometown Seattle. I miss my "homes" that I've found throughout this beautiful world, but I also look forward to finding the next place that speaks to me.

I love hiking and climbing mountains, swimming in mountain lakes or rivers in the summertime and dancing to music, preferably outside! I'm told I'm a positive person, which might sum me up pretty well. I hope to meet you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

I feel extremely lucky to be alive-I am so happy to have the opportunity to experience the world. Vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first surfed in Mexico and all were incredible, amazing, mind-blowing experiences!! I feel so grateful for the hospitality and amazing things my hosts have shared with me. My Couchsurfing experiences in Japan, Serbia, Romania and Albania also introduced me to wonderful people. I've also hosted several surfers in the U.S. The world seems a lot smaller since I have joined the CS community.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music, both for dancing or just relaxing in the sun. I enjoy reading--words may be my favorite form of art. Beautiful sentences stick with me forever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first CS experience was staying with a wonderful woman in Mexico City who took me in on her birthday weekend. Zooming through the countryside with new friends, volcanoes hovering above us, drinking chelas and enjoying the hot sun. It will always be a treasured memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I sing, so maybe we could make music together. I have backpacked in mountains since childhood, so maybe we can go hiking together!
