About Me

CURRENT MISSION

All I ever wanted was a life that was extraordinary, and that I pursued.

ABOUT ME

I have an addiction for travel - 46 countries and no sight of stopping. I love experiencing the world through other people's lives!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

AS A COUCHSURFER
For me, couchsurfing is about encountering a new place through someone else who is already immersed into the culture in order to gain the full experience! I view couchsurfing as a reciprocating relationship (how life should be in general!) If someone hosts you, you bring an act of kindness as well. When I've traveled, I will either cook for a host, take them out for a drink, and/or help clean up.

AS A HOST
I'm currently hosting in Nashville, TN. I live with my husband, Ben, and good friend, Raj. We're looking to host and learn about other culture and exchange world travel stories. We have a friendly Golden Retriever, Caribou, so please keep this in mind if you have allergies or are scared of dogs.
Raj and I work remotely from home while Ben is out of town quite frequently for work. We may be sometimes limited on time we can spend with our guests, but will be sure to show you around when one of us has free time. If anything, we'd love to have a meal with you to learn about you and your culture! I'm a big foodie so if you have anything you can share with me about your food culture I would love that <3

HOUSE RULES

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Petra in Jordan to see the Rose City was the most awestruck I've ever been. Runner up to that moment would be the Cairo pyramids in Egypt.
