Hello! I'm so excited to begin couch surfing. I just started and am looking forward to meeting so many great new people as I make my way around the world.

In my former life, I was a consultant and project manager. I spent the first few years of my professional career in the DC area before I moved to NYC. I loved many of the things NYC had to offer, but the clock was up for me there.

I had the ultimate opportunity to move to the Philippines in August 2014 for a year and I jumped right on it! I've since split my time between my budding wedding photography business and traveling.

I often have a smile on my face and love to laugh! My favorite part of traveling is meeting new people and learning about their culture.

I'm a pretty laid back traveler and enjoy taking my time. You'll often find me ️enjoying a cup of coffee and people watching in whatever city I'm in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find the best way to learn about other countries and cultures is through the people! I'm on couch surfing to make new friends in the cities I go to as well as share my experiences with others :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My current favorite author is the American writer, Ann Patchett. Her book, "This is the Story of a Happy Marriage" is my current favorite book. It's not like it sounds - you should check it out!

Favorite movie- The Good Lie

Favorite music - shameless T. Swift fan, plus most top 40 & anything you can dance to

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my secure corporate job in NYC to pursue life as a wedding photographer and live in another country. It's so cliche, but if you do something you love, you never work a day in your life. I've learned the hard way that money doesn't buy happiness.

I also love to cook, so I'd be glad to cook for you, together or just do the the cleaning after.
