I'm currently a student at American University studying International Public Relations. I love being in DC, it a fun city and big change from rural Maine (where I'm from). I grew up in a small town in western Maine surrounded by mountains and lakes. I love the outdoors because of this and am always up for a hike. Living in DC has given me an appreciation for city life and I look forward to seeing more places around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing for my upcoming trip to Colombia. I want to get to know the locals and their neighborhoods by staying with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like a lot of mainstream American music (Kanye, Beyonce, Kendric Lamar) but also have a soft spot for what I think of as my parent's music (Jimmy Buffet, Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Survivors).
Movies: Comedies all the way! My favorites include Pineapple Express, Shrek, and Deadpool.
Books: Goldfinch, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad outside of Copenhagen when I was 15 and that really opened my eyes up to how one will find good people everywhere you go.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Optimism and the mantra: There are good people everywhere
Learn: To humiliate myself more when trying new things, not to be held back by embarrassment
Share: A good dance
