Hi, my name is Alice and I'm a 26 year old woman from the US, currently residing in the town of Carrboro. I like to bike, rock climb and spend time in my garden, growing vegetables to eat and herbs as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm taking a little bike tour through the Netherlands and then climbing in Greece in the fall of 2017. I find hostels very overwhelming and I have always loved staying with friends-of-friends while travelling, so I decided to give Couchsurfing a try!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking all around the South Island of New Zealand with my little sister in 2015! I went rock climbing for the first time outdoors, won tickets to a penguin hospital (true story!) and made a lot of new friends.
