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.

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.
