CURRENT MISSION

To fill my life with the things that last forever: fun, love, and a bit of adventure.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young professional living in Madison. I would say that I am a fun-loving and laid back person who is really up for almost anything. I really enjoy getting to know people one on one through interesting conversation and a few good laughs. Making people smile makes me very happy. I am pretty impulsive and like keeping people on their toes, and I like going on adventures. I love kayaking, camping, and being outside in general. I really love traveling. Even so, I am completely dedicated to my family and friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an occasion. Rise to it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I organize a monthly CS Happy Hour - we try to go to a new place each month. I admin our local Madison CS Facebook group, I update our Madison CouchCrash website, and I am one of the admins for the Madison Couchsurfing Instagram page. I like staying active in the local events in Madison and keep up with the Madison CS crowd because they're pretty awesome. I also have been a main organizer for the Mad City Couch Crash since 2014. I also surf and host on occasion, but I'm hoping to host much more this coming year!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted and surfed mainly in the US. So far, having an awesome time!
