I am a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota and I studied conservation biology. I recently backpacked 4 countries in Southeast Asia for 3 months and want to continue the adventure to the wonderful Rocky Mountains. I will be doing a lot of snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing, and pretty much any other adventurous activities within the area, I am also an avid runner training for my 7th marathon (no I'm not crazy, ok maybe just a little) I am beyond excited to meet new people through CS, I am down to try new things, talk about most things, and help out on your property if it's needed!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to explore the United States on a budget while meeting some super cool down to earth people. I love meeting new people during my travels, makes the world seem a little bit smaller.

I am new to Couchsurfing and look forward to hosting folks once I have a permanent home in Minnesota.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got lost in the Amazon Rainforest and found my way out. Only for 5 hours, but left me shook.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach anything that I have learned to others including my knowledge of running, cooking, meditation, and wildlife. I am open to sharing any skills that I have to help out around a hosts house.

I am looking to learn about almost everything as long as it isn't underwater basket weaving. But hey I'd try it once.
