CURRENT MISSION

San Fran to Anchorage - Sink Or Swim

ABOUT ME

Adventuresome, happy, sarcastic, positive. I am definitely someone who tries to make the most of things and not harp on negativity. Every experience has a meaning - what you do with that meaning makes you who you are.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love and love what you do. Life is short. I know its a bit cliché but that's how I live. Stay positive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to try everything at least once. I'm really laid back and can go with the flow. I want to give and receive.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The experiences I've had so far have knocked me off my feet. I know lots of people are skeptical about staying with someone you've never met, I think it all comes down to having faith in humanity, trusting people and seeing the good things in life. I've stayed with some of the most generous people I've ever met. I am so excited for when I settle so that I can back to this amazing community and host travelers.

Interests

I like to travel...obviously. Also I love live music, reading, riding my bike, spending time with friends, doing new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled around the world in 100 days on a boat. I got to see Fidel Castro, the Amazon, Table Mountain, the Taj Mahal, The Ganges, Cu Chi Tunnels, cherry blossoms in Osaka, Japan. I also ski-dived in South Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I build origami out of starburst wrappers.
I was previously a tour guide so pretty good about planning trips. I want to learn how to play an instrument.
