CURRENT MISSION

Travel more, experience more, live more!

ABOUT ME

Friendly, responsible, and respectful! I'm shy upon first meeting, but once introductions are made, I enjoy philosophical stimulating conversations, and up for anything! I love trying new things and take recommendations to heart! I enjoy attending art openings, reading classic novels, and cooking up new recipes. I'm clean and orderly.

PHILOSOPHY

"A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms. " - from Zen Shin Talks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to tour the U.S. before traveling abroad through this means of hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my chances for travel depends on securing a friend's couch to crash on, but now through this site, the expansion of such arrangements will permit more locations due to the kindness of others!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far, enjoying the idiosyncrasies of different cities here in my own backyard! I got to see Niagra Falls when visiting a friend in Buffalo, NY, the beautiful mountains of Portland, OR, and the City Museum in St. Louis. Simple, but it was fun and amazing to me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to be more adventurous, and try new activities I wouldn't have the opportunities otherwise, like rock-climbing, biking trails, crafty art practices, etc.!
