CURRENT MISSION

Visit every continent before I die... getting closer!!!

ABOUT ME

My motto in life is to live life to its fullest whether doing my every day thing with work or backpacking in some random town that you might not be able to find on a map. I love to travel, write, surf, and just soak in the simple things of life.
I try to bust out of the 9 to 5 thing once a year. This summer I will be heading to Iceland with my husband and one year old son. Hoping to travel forever!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I say life life fully and with an open mind & open heart. Life is too short to live on cruise control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got a couch, a guest room and on the other side of things a real desire to travel and always meet new people. It's something that makes life a little richer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the opportunity to surf a number of couches from the Middle East to New Zealand, Australia, Italy, etc. I have also participated in global freeloaders for the past few years. I've had nothing but great experiences in my few years abroad. I'm excited to have someone surf on my couch or for me to meet new people as I gear up for my travels this summer.

Interests

I love to read, travel, write, surf, volunteer in local / global projects, meet new people & spend time with my family. Life is beautiful & I'm having one heck of a time enjoying it all!

Music, Movies, and Books

Orange County, Goonies, Step Into Liquid, September Sessions, and a bunch more I can't recall.
I love to read and listen to a wide variety of music: jack johnson, bob marley, beatles, pete murray, josh groban and the list continues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Tuscany for a short chapter in my life and planted cyprus trees, pruned olives and tended to a bee hive. Pretty stoked about that one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work with teenagers 10 months out of the year as a drug counselor. I love working with the hearts of teens. It's challenging, so summer is my time to travel and recharge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love meeting new people, sharing stories and life experiences. I believe we can all learn from one another.
