ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old freelance writer with a passion for travel and adventure. I just relocated to Denver, Colorado after 8 months of backpacking around magical Southeast Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Do the things that make you happy. Surround yourself with good people. Be compassionate and kind.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Connecting with community members around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted on a couple occasions. The last time I hosted was a rather strange and uncomfortable weekend for me and my roommates, so I've taken a bit of time away from CS. But now that I'm out traveling again, I hope to find some wonderful and willing hosts, make some new friends, and have some really positive CS experiences!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Can there really just be one?!
Floated down a river in the rain forest on a wooden raft.
Swam with sea lions in the Galapagos.
Bungee jumped off a bridge in the mountains of Ecuador.
Stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon and stared into that great abyss.
Drove a convertible through the beaches, deserts, mountains and canyons of the American West.
Danced samba in the streets of Rio during Carnaval.
Climbed an active volcano and stared into an even greater abyss.
Hiked through the oldest rainforest on earth in Malaysia.
