About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After hustling non stop since college, I saved money, quit my job and am now travelling the world for the next few years. I will be in Europe with my little brother August-September of this year and we'd love to make some new friends.

ABOUT ME

I say yes...I say FUCK YES to things (most of the time, it's enthusiastic). I like to go on late night adventures to diners, road trips to music festivals, events, meet random people just for the hell of it and because I believe the shenanigans I get into will make for a good story someday. I always have stories :) I have also been training in Brazillian JiuJitsu for almost 2 years! I'd love to roll with you (both on the mat and blunts lol)

Some recent stories I've acquired: Pineapple Cactus, "You don't rub me like that!", Outfits bunnies look cute in, Almost getting married in Vegas, How high my bar is compared to Candis's

I'm enraptured by wanderlust and want to get everything I can out of this beautiful life.

I feel like I'm always exploding. I'm everywhere all the time because I'm so ecstatic about everything. It's hard to put it into words. There's so much to see and do and live and love and experience that I feel like a perpetual supernova trying to embrace it all. Let's do something crazy/stupid/simple/ridiculous/once-in-a-lifetime/balls to the wall/meaningful! Let's stay up all night/ get married in vegas/ go all in/ watch a movie marathon/ drink hot chocolate/ sneak into a closed event/ anything!

PHILOSOPHY

Try hard and Fail harder.

In life, love and inappropriate humor: It's never too soon <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you host me, I will keep your couch warm with my body heat and the sunshine that seems to be exploding out of my ass...I can cook, give massages and roll with you for BJJ.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any experiences on this site yet, but I have crashed with a few strangers. Most experiences were great! Best one so far was a road trip I took with my film crew. We stayed at my friend's beach house. We stayed up late, wrote and produced a short film that weekend, ate s'mores, had a bonfire...It was lovely =)
