CURRENT MISSION

I recently finished Peace Corps Service in Ethiopia and after 2 years of living in the country I'm making my way back to my hometown by way of Senegal, Italy, and Germany.

ABOUT ME

I can't stay in one place for long. Originally from Rosemount, Minnesota I spent four years at Beloit College in Wisconsin, during which time I was lucky enough to study and work in Russia, Turkey, and Senegal. I love traveling and meeting new people while staying in close contact with all the people I love in all the places I've visited around the world. RPCV Ethiopia.

PHILOSOPHY

Too many people take life too seriously. I wish we all worked together more and worked to make the world better for each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people and find fun places to stay. It's best to meet with people who live where I'm visiting to see the real city.
