About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world one moment at a time.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate from Humboldt State University (California) with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies Elementary Education and a Minor in Communications. I am packing my bag, jumping on a plane (3rd time ever!) and heading to explore Europe and all it has to offer.

I have been working every summer and Christmas break to save up for this trip so I am very excited to get to see many vibrant cities, eat different types of food and meet locals!

PHILOSOPHY

Replace the fear of the unknown with curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently traveling so I am a "surfer" but hope to be a host when I settle somewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Whether it's close friends or new friends, I have crashed on several couches and enjoyed a night of laughter and story telling. I've had great experiences so far!

Interests

A day started with a cup of tea and Yoga always makes me a happy panda. I enjoy music, whether it's simply as a listener or as a player/writer. I also enjoy exploring new places, socializing, drinking wine, cooking new foods and outdoor adventures like running, kayaking, rock climbing, biking and hiking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a music junky so it is very hard to narrow it down to be able to fit in this little box. I enjoy music ranging from blues and jazz to classic rock and indie to hip hop to electronic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Simple acts of kindness.

Teach, Learn, Share

Something I'm learning is to live in the moment and not always plan everything.

Countries I’ve Visited
