CURRENT MISSION

To embark on my 1st around the world trip!

ABOUT ME

"You only live once, what are you going to remember the most?" This is my favorite quote, and is the motto I strive to live my life by. I love to challenge myself to grow, learn knew things and everyday I am constantly pushing myself to be a better person. While I'm on this ride called Life, I want to travel the world, make amazing friendships and accomplish as many of my dreams and goals that I possibly can. I am a very passionate, outgoing, spontaneous and thoughtful person. I value friendships and love listening to everyone's individual life stories. There is so much to learn from every person that crosses my path!

PHILOSOPHY

My motto at the top explains it all. When I look back at my life I don't want regrets (or as few as I can manage at least). Living is not "someday" it is now or never. Plus, you never know when the unexpected will happen so I try to love and experience each day to the fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come to Seattle! I can't offer you a couch, but I'll give you the low down on all the fun stuff there is to do here!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand new to this! I am excited to meet with people before I leave for my around the world trip. And, I am hoping that I will get the opportunity to meet with other couch surfers when I am on the road. (Leaving February 13th!)

Music, Movies, and Books

To many to list. I pretty much give everything a shot. I'm open minded to all music, movies and books. You never know what you find yourself liking once you expand your possibilities! I just watched a movie with the most incredible African music, and I can't wait to hear more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Italy for 3 months and Australia for a year was absolutely incredible. Not only did I get the opportunity to see so many beautiful sights, I also made some of the best friendships of my life. No matter how amazing the scenery, the memories with others are what I remember the most.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my goals is to learn fluent Italian. I have studied in Italy, but have lost a lot of what I learned. I would also love to truly experience the culture and customs of where I am traveling, and avoid (if possible) the tourist trail. What can I teach you? Pretty much any sport (I had 2 older brothers) and how to cook.
