CURRENT MISSION

I want to live life to the fullest potential. There is so much to experience in such little time.

ABOUT ME

I have been called an ABCD, but I feel pretty well adjusted. I grew up on the east coast and moved to Texas soon after college. Now my husband and I perpetually seek out fun things to do and fun people to do them with. We are usually up for anything and love exploring!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to love and be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We used to host a lot of people in our incredibly nice guest bedroom, but we recently moved into a new home and are in the process of making major renovations - unfortunately it is in no state to handle guests right now, but I'll keep you posted!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of the couch surfing experiences I had in life involved staying with people I already knew. But in July 2010 that all changed. Instead of opting for a hotel room, Chris and I crashed with some couch surfers and had an amazing time. Since then we've stayed with people all over the place, our favorites being in Barcelona, Bordeaux, and Paris. We've also hosted people from around the world and have been lucky to meet some really great individuals.
