About Me

I love music, dance, cooking, outdoors, and adventure! I made my debut traveling internationally in 2015 where I taught English in France to my host family, traveled around Europe some, and then visited Korea and Japan. It gave me an insatiable appetite for travel.

As a child, I was always wandering off scaring my family to death when they couldn't find me. I was one of those kids who had to be put on a "kid leash". Well now is my time! I'm free and I'm excited to see this beautiful world, make amazing friendships, and experience life!

Describe myself:
Silly, weird, happy, energetic, vivacious, laughs a lot, open-minded, compassionate, quirky, and always willing to try new things!

I graduated with a major in Applied Linguistics and a minor in French.

2017:

Currently planning trips back to France in April, to Canada in July, and to Vietnam and Thailand in November.

In the process of moving again, will be figuring out hosting possibilities once we get settled in again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course I would love to save money on traveling, but couch surfing is also a great way to meet locals with rich knowledge of their surroundings: where to go, what to do, what to eat! And also if I have questions about how to get from place to place- couchsurfing hosts can be very friendly and great resources! I hope to create life-long friendships with my hosts and future guests! ^_^ ve made or have yet to make! :D
