Currently in a gap year between high school and university. I'm traveling as much as my bank is allowing me to! I have stayed at hostels, with friends, traveled with workaway, as well as CS. I’m always looking to connect with fun, interesting, creative or adventurous people. For me it’s one of the best parts about traveling! I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and lived there just about my whole life. And just like everyone else I was going to follow the norm of diving straight into university. Somewhere along the lines my mind had this crazy idea of taking my own path and pursuing a gap year. And with no guidelines or solid plans I started booking flights. The day after graduating, I packed my bags and headed to Iceland for a week. I stepped onto the plane with a little faith that it was the right choice to ditch my safe plan of following the crowds to university. However it turned out to be one of the best choices I have made in my life. I worked in beautiful places, I traveled 4 continents, and made some memories I will never forget. I have been traveling alone, but I have never felt really 'alone'. Creating friendships and experiences everywhere I go has encouraged me to keep going and keep moving forward. I’m always looking to learn from people and gain new perspectives and philosophies!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling and meeting people is amazing!! It reminds me that there are so many good people in the world. I also love to learn about different lifestyles and cultures, etc. I have hosted international travelers as well as people from the USA. All of them have been a different experience and a lot of them have been really awesome! I also hope hosting me will encourage you to come stay with me in Massachusetts one day!! Boston is a beautiful place, haven't seen it? Want to go back? Come on then!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love random conversations and participating in any kind of activities. I love learning about people! And I’m happy to share anything I can with you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to listen to stories and I don't mind telling my own for anyone who asks. I am very easy going and can adjust to any situation. I'm always up for any adventure! I have a hobby of doing home made "stick and poke" tattoos on myself, my friends, and anyone who's up for the challenge;). Ask me facts about farm animals(or stories), I have a quite a few up my sleeve, as I work on a farm at home. I can share silly travel stories. And I’m always up for a deep life conversation. I can give you encouragement, I think we all should all dream to do crazy impossible things. You never know what lies ahead of you unless you go look! The less you bet the more you loose when you win! Risk it for the biscuit!
