ABOUT ME

I'm an animal loving, vegan eating gal who's open to pretty much anything once. So you'll find I know a little bit about a lotta things.

PHILOSOPHY

let's eat!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surf on friend's couches all the time and always create the closest friendships that way. You learn a lot about people from the cushion of a couch. I prefer to hang out with whoever I'm staying/hosting with over coffee and tea, food, or music for a good time and some stories. But I'm also just as happy exploring on my own.

Interests

Dancing and yoga are my therapy so I do them often. Recent experiments have been line dancing, swing, and lindy hop. I usually like taking yoga or some sort of dance class wherever I travel to.
