I think the best way to describe me is an old soul with a young spirit.
I'm a recent college grad in Chicago about to move back to California where I was born and raised. Before that, I'm going on a big Europe backpacking trip!
I absolutely love traveling, but it's been limited to national parks here in the US, which is still wonderful because I absolutely love nature and hiking - it always revitalizes me, but I'm ready to get out there. My grandma was a world traveler and I aspire to follow in her footsteps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to embark on a two-month long solo backpacking trip around Europe and I'd love to meet new people along the way! CS seems like a perfect community of travelers and locals and I'd love to share and learn from experiences. I'm ready to challenge myself, throwing myself to new places, new people, and situations I may not be used to, but I'm just here to learn and enjoy what life throws at me.
