About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the impossible in a world of fanasty

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Connecticut who's got love for D.C., have enchanted by New Mexico with an never-ending dream of the world. There's so much beauty in love, people and freedom; this, I know for sure. I live for beer breweries, adventures and celebrations.

CURRENT STATUS: My boyfriend and I are both world travelers and we love it so. Among many adventures we have done together like living in our truck for 7 months, we are about to embark a backpacking lifestyle towards The Caucasus and Central Asia, or the ‘Stans, over the summer of 2018. We hope to meet people while we are at it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have (mostly) surfed and hosted here and there-- every one of them have been a positive experience! I often find myself feeling grateful for this kind of community; an opportunity where we come as one and where we allow people to travel with comfort that they will be taken care of. This space is partly why I have so much faith in humanity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of the amazing things I have done is travel-related: I volunteered in Togo, Africa for 10 weeks many years ago where I met my fateful Togolese family. I also did a round the world (RTW) trip for one year including camping and hitchhiking across Australia for 3 months. The most recent amazing thing I have done is living on the road with my boyfriend in our truck for 7 months driving all the way to Alaska and then down to Mexico.
