In 2016 I graduated from Arizona State University, sold all of my belongings, and started my first gap year. I am now on my third* gap year, and still not quite ready to go home... I visited my 50th country this year and now hope to spend a little time traveling around the states!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling is meeting new people, and what better way to make new friends than couchsurfing?! Plus sometimes sleeping on the floor is better than sleeping in a dorm full of people with smelly feet who snore ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

We can practice English or Spanish... and you can help me with my meager Russian language skills!
