About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I was an American exchange student in France for four months, then an au pair in London for six. In between I travelled as much as I could and had an amazing time. Now I work as an emergency medical technician on an ambulance.

ABOUT ME

I am fun, easygoing, and like to meet new people.

I have traveled extensively in the United States, mostly to camp, hike, or kayak. My favorite places I have visited so far are the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the Grand Canyon, the Florida Everglades, Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, and the Adirondacks in New York.

I have also been to France, England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Spain and Italy.

PHILOSOPHY

"Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why." - Kurt Vonnegut

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I finally have my own place again and am open to finally hosting, which I've never done before. I can offer you a comfortable space on my floor right in downtown Ann Arbor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone I've met through CS has been amazing in their own unique way and added so much to my perspective on life, the cultures of different countries, and the nature of humanity.
