I am a 20 yr old student at Eastern Mennonite University. I love adventures, experiencing different cultures, learning, nature, traveling, riding horses, photography, art, and working for peace and social justice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I travel the world, I don't want to merely be a tourist - I desire to gain deeper experiences in the places I visit through becoming familiar with the locals' way of life. Couch surf will help me meet amazing individuals and families who can help give me a glimpse into what life is like in their cultures and homes, as well as provide a safe, friendly home for travelers passing through my town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year volunteering at an orphanage with my family in Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, Honduras. I received classes through homeschooling during the mornings, and worked in the afternoon. I gave horseback riding lessons as therapy to kids with behavioral issues and helped take care of the youngest children.
