ABOUT ME

While I'm a bit shy at first I'm really quite personable, adventurous, and always open to new experiences. I love having good conversations and listening to new people's stories and sharing my own. I grew up in a crazy city with a lot of diversity so I feel like I'm pretty open minded to most anything and can connect with most people. My parents raised me to be self suffeciant so I can cook quite well, clean, and look after myself. I have a little sister whom I try to look out for and many friends who I'm very loyal to. I have alot of respect for people and their personal space, I try to be as courteous as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a professional appreciator. I want to experience as much as I can and share it with every one. I live for the small interactions that usually mean the most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm completely open to having people stay in my house!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in London and Paris and it was probably my favorite aspect of traveling. The people I stayed with were amazing, nice, and generally very giving. The one bad experience was when a host blew me off at the last minute and I ended up sleeping on the street. Lame! Everyone else I stayed with more then made up for it though. I've only had one person stay with me, but I'd love to have more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled around the Greek islands on a sail boat for three weeks when I was 14 with my mother. We went to 13 different islands were imersed in the local life on each of them because we'd made friends with our skipper. It was my first time out of the country and the defining point in my life when I knew I wanted to travel as much as I could, meet new and amazing people and have bizzare forign experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can stitch and cook quite well. I can also give tattoos and hair cuts. I have many small talents that I'm decent at.

I would love to improve my french! Other then that I want to learn as much as I possibly can!
