I am a nice, adventurous, introverted person who likes roadtrips, hiking, beer, food, books, plants, friends, and music. I am a student hoping to one day be a librarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the next year my friend and I plan to do a few months of traveling around the US and visiting National Parks. In the places where we don't already have friends it would be great to meet some new ones.

Interests

Books! first and foremost, I am an avid reader and would love to talk about your favorites. I enjoy good company with people who are genuine as well as visiting new places and the challenges that come with stepping into unknown territory.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a few months ago my friend and I tipped her truck over on an icy road going about 65. we were able to push the door open (which was above us) and climb out safely, and neither of us panicked. That's about the most amazing thing recently because until then i never knew how I would react in what could have turned into a life or death situation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good, quiet house guest and would love to get to know my host(s). I could help out with some house chores if wanted or just share a drink and a game of cards for fun.

Countries I’ve Visited

Kenya, Mexico
