I am a student at the University of Georgia and lover of the outdoors. I am an avid climber and skier and love spending every moment in the mountains. I’m super relaxed and easy to get along with and always looking for the next adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and hearing everyone story! Making friends around the world is amazing and it's always amazing to hear everyones perspective of life. I am researching the impact of tourism on economics in small/isolated communities for my University this summer. With tourism becoming bigger and bigger, it is leading to increasing property, food, and tax costs. I am hoping my research can reveal insights to help protect these communities.

Interests

I have been climbing for 6 years and can lead trad and ice. I have my single rope, rock rack and ice rack for my travels in Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling all over the US meeting people through climbing. I met someone 1000ft up on the side of a mountain in Colorado and then ran into her again ice climbing in New Hampshire. It’s amazing reuniting with people from across the country by happenstance.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to practice my Italian and can share a vast knowledge of the outdoors. Everything from kayaking to skiing to especially climbing.
