28 year old outdoor junkie in the midst of a gap year before going back to Grad school for social innovation and entrepreneurship. Coming off of 2 and a half years living in San Francisco, exploring the Sierras and the West Coast.

In the last year have had an incredible time visiting South East Asia for 3 months, South America for 5, and now Europe for a month before heading to Morocco :).

I have met the most amazing people along the way, and equally unbelievable experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, and truly love the idea of the sharing economy, or better yet, sharing resources at little to no cost. Seems like a wonderful community of like-minded folks. Also looking to connect with others who might be up for some climbing, hiking, etc...I hope to pay it forward as soon as I am finished with this nomadic stint and in my own place!
