About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet good people, eat good food, and explore the beauty the world has to offer

ABOUT ME

I love seeing different places and experiencing new cultures. There is no better way to truly appreciate the world than through traveling. I have traveled to several different countries in Europe as well as different states throughout the U.S. I am a recent college graduate and instead of looking for work right away I am going to spend time traveling the world. I am laid back and can get along with anyone I meet. I love meeting people from around the world because there is just so much to learn from them.

PHILOSOPHY

Life would be too dull if we simply do what we think we HAVE to do or what society tells us to do. Instead we should live by our passions. Chase who and what we love. Don't let those beautiful moments slip past your fingertips. Catch them and hold on to them before it is too late.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host people in my home but I do not have my own place right now.
For now I just want to find hosts to stay with while I travel.
I also plan on going to Genoa for four months in 2015 starting in January. I will be an au pair and will have a lot of free time. I would like to meet people to show me around the city and to spend my spare time with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couchsurfed before, but I have heard many cool things about it!

Interests

I am an easy going and laid back person that will enjoy anything!
I like being outdoors and in nature. I like going on hikes, camping, and being near the water.
I like being active but I also like to relax.
When I am active I like to play sports and be outdoors. When I am relaxed I like to be somewhere quiet and read or just have lunch with a friend.
I love all food so I am always down to try something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of movies, books, and music! Like I said before I am an easy going person and adapt to everything. But my favorites include country music, comedy movies, and romance novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied abroad in Florence, Italy. It was the most amazing thing I have experienced. I was able to catch a glimpse into what it was like to live in a foreign country. I cannot wait to go back and live there again someday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about new cultures. I want to strengthen my knowledge in other languages. In turn, I would love to share my life experiences and culture with people. We have something to learn from everyone we meet.
