Just your average coffee-drinking, adventure-seeking, food-loving, guitar-playing, backpacker!

I recently finished college, spent a year on the road, and moved to Austin to work. I’m plotting my next trip, so any travel recommendations are helpful!

I'm especially passionate experiential education, and have spent a number of years working in study abroad, gap year, and higher education. I believe traveling abroad is a critical for each and every student.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no wrong or right way to travel. But why travel if you don't want to have fun!

I've met nothing but kind people on couchsurfing, and value this opportunity to share stories, adventures, and time together. Time doing nothing is not time well spent!

I'm hoping that my hosts can show me more great places than I would find if I stayed in a hotel. I have a passion for learning about cultures from my host as well as sharing my own background and the stories of other places I've visited.
