CURRENT MISSION

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20 year-old student taking a four year vacation from the Ohio countryside in Boulder, CO. I sing all the time and hate wearing shoes. I'm studying environmental science and will probably go to law school after I do something terribly exciting (suggestions welcome). I love kids, animals, and anyone that tells it like it is. If I could be anything when I grow up, I would be a photographer for National Geographic, but I'm a terrible photographer (no patience for things with buttons) so if I can't be that, I'd prefer not to grow up at all.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to make excuses. Be who you are and be it well. That's the only way you'll find success.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a happy host and an eager traveller!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roommates and I have hosted a variety of couchsurfers and now I'm ready to try it out myself! Every time we have a surfer I've felt like I've been able to travel without leaving my home. I hope to bring my own little adventures to others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a game of chess on the top of Mt. St. Helens. Haven't played since for fear that I might realize it was actually just beginner's luck.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know loads of things about composting, sustainability, and Costa Rica, but you can never know it all. I'm up for learning anything.
