CURRENT MISSION

To constantly be learning, growing, and changing.

ABOUT ME

My friends would probably say that I'm an open-minded, caring, and free-spirited individual.

PHILOSOPHY

I always want to be learning, growing, and changing.

Each day a journey. The journey itself home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I loved getting to know my local, hometown CS community and through meetups and parties I got to know some really cool people that I now consider great friends!

But now that I am living in another country I want to meet and connect with other travels from around the world! I have been living out of the States since Sept 2014.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed a few times now (in Innsbruck, Austria, Christchurch and Dunedin, New Zealand) and have had many positive experiences! Otherwise I have met up and gotten to know people within my communities, which has been very great too! :) Now that my partner and I have our own place here in Port Douglas, Australia we are ready to begin hosting people.

Interests

I love having adventures. I tend to spend my money on experiences whether it be going to concerts, taking a hike to see a beautiful waterfall, traveling to a different culture, visiting an old friend in a new city, etc. I love being in nature (esp around mountains!) and doing anything outdoors. I love talking about dreams and astrology. I love to go to shows and listen to live music. I enjoy singing around campfires with people playing guitars.
