Just a Midwestern kid that moved to the Big City (NYC). I love traveling all over the world! I’ve been to over 20 countries and I’ve stepped foot in 5 of the 7 continents!

I got my first taste of international travel when I was 16 years old selling candy bars to raise money to go to Germany. I’ve been HOOKED ever since! A lot of my travels have been to Europe and I even lived in Germany as an Au Pair (Karlsruhe.) Since then, I’ve travelled all over and now I’m OBSESSED with SE Asia. I just wish it didn’t take 20+ hours to get there.

I hope to take some time off and travel to more countries in SE Asia. I’ve been dying to see Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia, but perhaps I will venture to Morocco, Portugal and Turkey next... I will go where the wind takes me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting people from around the world. Traveling without my partner gets lonely and it would be great to meet new friends.
