I am traveling around Europe while my husband travels for his work. We have a 3 year old son that is traveling with me. Our plans are open ended and open to possibilities that benefit us in different ways. We are hoping to meet some friendly people on our travels to build our friendship circle and networking potentials. We are hoping to move away from America after my husband finishes his current contract and Masters degree, which is part of our reason for traveling. We are more interested in experiencing local lifestyle of each of our destinations, rather than the touristy gimmicks. I am what many Americans call "Alternative", I have tattoos and brightly colored hair, usually purple, and some facial piercings which can be off putting to some, but I am a very friendly and open minded individual. I am looking to make all sorts of friends, and some with a child around my son's age would be nice for him to socialize as well. I love photography, music, and anthropology related interests.
I am an artistic person. I enjoy films, tv shows, books, drinking tea and cooking! I also bake a lot, always trying to things in the culinary world. We are pescatarian, and love most cuisines that have options for primarily vegetarian lifestyles. I enjoy cooking for friends and family, almost more than anything! I love to entertain guests when I have a homestead.
This is our second lengthy trip and we will start in Spain after Christmas. We will be traveling from December 30-August of 2018.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to meet new friendly people to become friends with. My only biological family is my son and my husband, so my friends are very important assets to my life. I hope to make some life long friends on our journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel like it is pretty amazing that I have survive 7 surgeries in one year, after having a baby, and then proceeding to travel alone with him in unknown, to me, territories. It is a struggle every day, and I am still healing, but I am doing my best to be positive and spread positivity in everything I do, despite my obstacles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach others to cook, teach others about pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan lifestyles and how broad of a world it truly can be. I love to teach others about food nutrition and healthier lifestyles. I love to learn languages and culture from all those that I meet. I love to just meet and listen to interesting people and be part of their world.

I love to cook for everyone! It is one of my biggest passions, besides my arts. I mainly cook vegetarian and vegan food, but I have cooked many different proteins for other people's dietary lifestyles. I would love to learn traditional cooking from hosts if possible, or be able to cook for them!
