CURRENT MISSION

Traveling in India. Looking to meet locals, learn about culture, learn about language, help when possible, and make the world a better place.

ABOUT US ABOUT ME

I love to smile, dance and have fun. I love meeting new people and learning new things. I am forever curious. I need things in my life that scare me and push my boundaries. Traveling offers many opportunities to question my value system, and growing up in America, there is a lot of un-learning to do.

MY PHILOSOPHY

I feel so blessed for this experience on earth. It is with great joy I meet each day.
I like to live a simple life, being grateful for all that is around me.
Trust the process.
Try most things once.
Don’t take life too seriously, because after all, nothing lasts forever and no one gets out alive.
It's all about self love.
I am constantly learning ways to control and sometimes kill the ego.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY I'M ON COUCHSURFING

I have always wanted to try couch surfing. I think it is a great way to meet locals and get immersed in the culture of other countries.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing website, so I would love your help building up my profile. I promise you will not regret it!

I have lived in communal housing for over 12 years, during which I have learned how to be respectful and kind. I like sharing meals and projects with others. I have informally done couch surfing for years, asking Facebook if I know anyone here or there, and I have hosted travelers the same way. I am looking forward to using this tool to expand my reach.
