I recently moved to Sweden with my job, and I'm excited for the opportunity to travel throughout Europe! I am excited to see new cities and meet locals in the places I visit.

5 things about me:
1. One of my bucket list items is to host a foreign exchange student in America. The family I lived with during my study abroad semester in college opened their home to me overseas, and I want to do the same for foreign exchange students in the USA.
2. I went to the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
3. I recently bought an old 1950's film camera and have been learning photography.
4. Next planned trip: Milan.
5. Dream job: owning my own travel company and taking groups on tours of Spain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite parts of traveling is getting to know locals. I love meeting new people and hearing about why they love their city.

Interests

One of my favorite parts of traveling is meeting locals in the cities I visit. There are a few organizations set up to help travelers connect with locals across the globe, and I have always been interested in using couch surfing as a way to do this! I also love trying new food (I'll eat anything), salsa dancing, and hiking. I am also interested in history, specifically the history and development of cities I visit.
