Hello! I am a Ph.D. student at West Virginia University, studying forest ecology and I am a teaching assistant at the university. I love to spend time outdoors, especially biking, hiking, and camping. I also love good food and cooking-- especially whatever is local and in season! I live with an abundance mentality of generosity and sharing, and found that many other couchsurfers do, too!
I look forward to making new friends through Couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know people! Everyone is so unique and has their own amazing story to tell, and I love to listen as well as share. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to travel with the increased profundity of knowing a place by getting to know a local resident.

I went on a four month bike tour in europe in 2015, and I enjoyed the hospitality from many who opened their homes to me and my boyfriend. I want to return such a great favor to others, and continue to make new friends as I travel in the future.
