Hey I’m tori. I’m an avid traveler and often find myself in need of the open road to clear my mind. I’m currently a student, going to school for Graphic Design and find most of my passions include creativity and learning new things. I’m very outgoing and love to meet new people!

As far as traveling goes I’ve mainly been throughout the US. When I was 15 I got my first taste of exploring when I visited my sister who was stationed in Hawaii.( yes I’m a military kid) Since moving away to college I’ve really experienced the United States. I started my year off in NYC and since then I’ve hiked in Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Nevada, And Utah. I’ve been to Washington DC and experienced the cherry blossom bloom. (If you’ve never seen it, it’s incredible). Aside from that, I’ve been to Mexico, Iceland, Costa Rica, and will be leaving for Ireland soon.

I’d love to share my stories of my travels and hear some of yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet interesting people and immerse myself in their cultures. I’d choose a hostel over an Airbnb any day because you atleast get the chance to meet people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hardly listen to the radio, Spotify is my go too. I listen to a lot of indie, alternative, jam bands, and acoustic but, I have a nice collection of thrifted jazz/classical music as well.
I love a good Kung fu movie.
I’ve read many books, some of my favorites include Walk like a Buddha, Malaria Dreams, Three Cups of Tea, Tuesday’s with Morrie, and the Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free solo climbing waterfalls in Costa Rica and around the states then jumping from them!
On the other hand, waking up at 4am and submitting the Linville Gorge in NC was a riveting experience. Nothing really compares to a sunrise on the top of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in English and can communicate in Spanish. I am currently learning German and would love to practice!

I can share stories about the places I’ve been and dishes I have had that forever changed my outlook on food.
