CURRENT MISSION

Say yes to adventure.

ABOUT ME

I eat popcorn everyday, and would love to make some for you.

I love change, but I hate transition.

I'm addicted to volunteering and I dance whenever possible.

I'm terrible at describing myself in a text box.

PHILOSOPHY

Something will happen and it will work out. With that being said, live your dreams, don't just dream them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a bunch of surfing, but I have not hosted yet. I also haven't been to any meetups, mainly because big groups of people that I don't know and I'm supposed to socialize with make me very socially anxious. But every individual couch surfer that I've met has been amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE couch surfing. I like that the interactions between surfer and host can be very real, more than the politeness that often happens between strangers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I think The Giver by Lois Lowery is still my favorite book, despite it being written for 12 year olds.

I really dislike romcoms, but I love more "realistic" stories about relationships like Eternal Sunshine, Hiroshima Mon Amor, Closer, Survive Style 5+, Revolutionary Road.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the first times I went sailing in a two handed boat on Puget Sound, the wind picked up strongly and I had to lean out far over the side of the boat close to the water to keep the sail and the sheets under control. It was amazing, not only because it felt like flying, but also it was just the right mixture of feeling in danger and being in control.
