I was born and raised in Iowa in the United States. I am appreciative of the Midwest values I grew up with. I spent a semester of college living in Newcastle, Australia and was able to travel the entire east coast of Australia from Melbourne to Cairns. I spent three weeks in Europe and two weeks in New Zealand, and I am absolutely in love with traveling. I would love to visit every country in my lifetime.

I am a very down to earth, fun loving person. I am respectful and easy going. And I am always up for anything. I love meeting new people and hearing about their life experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am taking a year (or two) to travel the world. I will be backpacking throughout Europe, Africa, SE Asia, and Central & South America. I would love to meet locals along the way and learn about their home country. I'm also hoping to travel as long as possible, so budgeting is a must.

Interests

I am a professional dancer for a WHL Hockey team. I love all styles of dance. I obviously love to travel and am a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I've gone skydiving, bungee jumping, white & black-water rafting, zorbing, and more. I can't wait to add to my crazy experiences. I love animals and hope to work with wildlife sanctuaries along my way. I also plan to volunteer with orphanages and other charities. I enjoy reading, movies, tennis, and naps haha.
