CURRENT MISSION

Heading to Madrid in November!

ABOUT ME

I graduated university in 2011 and headed straight to South Korea to live and teach. I saved, I spent, I saw, & I traveled to many places in one quick, life changing year. Now I'm back in the states and I hope to meet crazy, adventurous, and passionate people to share stories with!

I'm an easy going, independent, and caring person. I live in the moment and try to make the best out of all my experiences. I sincerely enjoy traveling to new places and meeting new people wherever I am in the world.

Currently I'm a 3rd grade teacher in Miami and I spend my holiday time traveling to new places.

PHILOSOPHY

Do crazy things, meet new people, share life with others, make an impact, leave a legacy. Have a sense of purpose in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I usually use Couchsurfing for advice and to meet up with locals when I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted in my lovely, but small, studio apartment in S. Korea and in my apartment in Miami. I've also surfed once in California. My best experiences with couch surfing have been meeting up with locals and sharing travel stories over drinks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done so far was ride a moped through the crazy/ busy streets of Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was definitely the most reckless, dangerous, and exciting thing I've ever done!

Drinking a Tsingtao on the Great Wall and eating guinea pig in Peru.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more Spanish because living in Miami and looking slightly Latina (depending on my tan) has been awkward, embarrassing, and inconvenient..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share travel stories, funny experiences I've had as a teacher, positive vibes, and information about Miami in general.
