I am a down to earth, roll with the punches, free-spirited person who is just generally excited about experiencing life the way life is meant to be experienced.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm generally not a fan of hotels when I travel and would choose a local's place or hostel over a Hilton any day. I dig all things budget travel, and if it includes local community--I'm in!

Interests

-hiking
-road tripping
-camping

-culture
-writing

...and I have an obnoxious weakness for cute animals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best friends and I spent a night in the Sahara Desert at a Berber nomad camp. We stayed up all night at the top of the dunes while everyone else slept, talking with them about their culture and values, and there were more stars than I have ever seen in my entire life.
