I'm a Native Austinite turned brief San Franciscan turned Austinite again...I finished school in 2017 and bounced around to a few different jobs, but just accepted a full time position again, yay!!

I bounce back and forth between wanting to go out and do everything and burrowing/watching The Office in my room. My work schedule has me at the office 4 days a week and 10 hours a day. Ideally visitors will make themselves at home on the futon and we'll both come and go as we need to. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently had to stop fostering dogs because of my work schedule. My apartment feels a wee bit empty, so I'm going to fire up CS again.

I want to meet people from all over the US and all over the world, and hear their stories. If offering my futon can make someone's travels less stressful, that would be wonderful! The last few years were focused on finishing school and finding a job, and travel/meeting people unintentionally took a backseat. Trying to change that going forward!
