What I love most is experiencing life fully. I'm passionate about humans, creative process, meaningful connections, education, wellness and travel. I've had exceptional opportunities to travel in all US states except 4 and am very excited to finally be traveling more internationally. My home base is Asheville, NC where I live with my family of humans, rescue pets, and backyard chickens. I'm fortunate to work in the largest and fastest-growing industry so I now can work as I travel.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
For me, all travel is valuable but travel that connects people is priceless. As a girl, my family often hosted guests in our home. In high school and college, I traveled with music groups and drama teams where I was hosted in homes across the US. Over the past few years I've realized that what I love most while traveling is connecting with locals so I can really learn more about them, their region, and the stories they have to share. Couchsurfing seemed to be a great way to meet others who enjoy sharing travel stories and information.

I'm also skilled with helping people determine their life passion(s) and accomplish their travel dreams. Very happy to share any of my experiences and knowledge of wellness practices and products that decrease stress and increase connection.
My Interests
I've been told that I have "multiple interest syndrome" and I own that. It's hard to find something that doesn't interest me. Matter of fact, about the only thing that doesn't interest me is spending time with apathetic, negative, small-minded people. What interests me most is learning, personal and professional growth, and world travel.
