Hi! I'm a 24-year old recent U.S. college graduate and live-long learner traveling the world to talk to people about ~the internet~. Travel is as much about people as it is about places, so I'd love to meet ya and share a cup of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing like a local's take on a place. Big fan of sharing meals with others.
