Hello! I'm a traveling young adult who just LOVES exploring the world and all it has to offer. I have always had the drive to travel since I can remember. I wasn't able to growing up but when I got the opportunity to study abroad for six months, I jumped and moved to Australia! My first time out of the country was to move! And it was the best decision I ever made. Since then, I travel as much and as often as I can with work (which is less often then I like!).

I'm a young professional working in design and architecture at home in the U.S. I graduated with my bachelors degree in 2011 and have been working in the field ever since. I am a total foodie, coffee lover, dancer, and culture loving girl! I'm super laid back and just like to experience the world and go on amazing adventures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning on taking the plunge and backpacking the world for a year next year! I would absolutely love to get the most out of my time abroad and meet local people who can give me advice and tips on the region! I love meeting new people and also want to expand my network of friends, especially foreign ones I can someday invite back to my home in the states! Plus, I'm a super foodie and I'm just sure that staying with an awesome local guy or gal will give me insight into the best local food in town ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One?! So many... but first thing that comes to mind is climbing a cliffside in Peru and sleeping in those hanging glass pods they installed on the side of the cliff. Coolest experience ever! Even if a bit scary sleeping hundreds of feet up with a 360 degree clear view! But waking up at sunrise for breakfast on a cliffside overlooking a beautiful country....indescribable!
