CURRENT MISSION

to get the most I can out of this life

ABOUT ME

I've got a ton of loves, but my top ones are music, design, photography, biking, traveling, new experiences, and meeting new people. Aaannndd, good food. You know how they say some people eat to live? Well I definitely live to eat ;)

I'm pretty much always down for an adventure, life's too short to sit still!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm here to take in and learn all that I can. Everyone has a story and I want to hear it. Give me good friends, good food & good times, and I'll be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I have a couch available. I traveled around the world for 6 months and was graciously hosted along the whole way. So many CSers kindly opened up their homes and helped us in more ways than I can count. I definitely want to pay it forward to fellow travelers on their own journey.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was actually surfing through a friend. Since then, I've grown to love the community and the sharing of cultures. So many interesting stories, conversations, friendships, and meals to be had, I can't wait!
