I'm a career student (or so it feels sometimes) who loves to travel and eat and talk about traveling and food, among other things. I come from the wild west, so I feel more like a mountain girl than an American.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet locals when I travel! My parent's house has always had an open door policy, so growing up we had tons of people stay with us. I love the idea of finding a temporary home wherever you are.

Interests

I currently study food culture and sustainability, and I'm pretty passionate about good food (and wine etc..)..

I read A LOT and love to learn from others' experiences.

I like long nature walks/ hiking; swimming in oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes; riding horses through the forest; listening to live music (especially in small venues)..
