CURRENT MISSION

To be an expat for life

ABOUT ME

I would say I am fundamentally sane. I am a very open minded individual, easy going, optimistic, sarcastic, and energetic. I am a morning person. I like to bake. My friends and previous roommates would say I have maternal instincts. My goal in life is to be an expat. I am an open book.

PHILOSOPHY

I hate these questions. I live life to the fullest, and am always content with what I have. What more is there?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe this is the best opportunity to meet a many people. I have traveled a lot, and always love the friendships I develop when I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first Couchsurfing experience in Munich, Germany, with Holger. He was a fantastic host, and inspired me to keep up the tradition. When I am settled in August, I would love to host. Until then, I will have ask others to host me.
