About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become the female version of Anthony Bourdain

ABOUT ME

Me, in a word? Curious.

.... Curious about people, about countries, about history, about politics, about life, about why I keep losing my toothbrush every time I stay in a hostel.

I'm naturally a very happy person. I love meeting people. I like to talk. A lot. I love to travel in large part because I like to talk to new people...the more different you are the better.

History, politics, sports, books, traveling, cooking and people are my primary interests/passions in life. Ideally, I'd spend the rest of my life traveling around the world having a series of laughs/good conversations with good friends, interesting humans, and new acquaintances.

PHILOSOPHY

The mind is everything. What you think, you become. -Mr. Buddha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a lot of couches when I was in South Africa for the World Cup in 2010, and then again when I was backpacking through The Balkans. I've not done it in a long time, but I'm looking to attend the World Cup in Russia and am looking to get back into my couchsurfing ways.
