I grew up on a farm in a small town in the beautiful Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. I loved every bit of my childhood but was quick to rush into adulthood so i'm attempting to relive my early 20's via travel and self discovery. I am currently living in Charlotte, NC where I have been for the last three years working in the restaurant and events industry, however, on a whim, I left my job and here I am - creating a Couchsurfing profile while mapping out my journey to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am typically not the most outgoing person when it comes to social situations so I'm on here hoping to meet new people and push my comfort level. I have also made a promise to myself to stay in as few hotels as possible. I want to truly experience each place I visit and I can't Imagine anything better than doing it this way.
