I'm taking a gap year after finishing my Bachelors degree in Geography and Environmental studies- but headed home soon! I've enjoyed being a part of the international community in New Zealand, and have also valued my experiences meeting locals through WWOOFing.

I've already done a fair amount of international travel, and love learning about different cultures and meeting new people. I am very passionate about sustainability and would love to learn more about it from living with others, and contribute what I can based on my own experiences.

I enjoy seeing all the beautiful nature NZ has to offer through tramping, kayaking, and simply spending time outside. I'm always keen to check out a gig, do some dancing, and have a look around new places. Being from Wisconsin (we're "the Dairy State") I'm a big fan of good cheese and beer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love any opportunity I can get to connect with other people while traveling, especially locals to get a more authentic experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
