Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Moving my best friend across the country and looking for places to lay our heads that can accommodate us and her cat.

Prefer an all-natural/organic household, no chemical fragrances please!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Costa Rica in 2005- visiting impoverished schools and getting to spend time with the children- LIFE CHANGING!

Gave away most of my belongings, took a semester off, and traveled the country with nothing more than my dog and a backpack for four months in 2010- that was definitely life changing! Made me really realize what's important in life and how little one can get by with when it really comes down to it. It also definitely made me appreciate things everyone takes for granted- warm beds, hot showers, and full meals! Have gratitude, not everyone has these things on a daily basis.
