I am an adventurous planner who loves to learn. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places. I especially like visiting a place with a local to learn things about that place that don't show up in the guide books. I am looking to see as much of the world as possible whenever possible. I love being outdoors and trying new foods. I'm pretty easy going, and while I am very adaptable I like to plan ahead. When in a new place I like to find the balance between doing and seeing as much as possible while also taking time to relax and just enjoy the view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a student with a need for adventure, I travel on a tight budget. Couch surfing provides a way to explore new places while also meeting amazing people along the way. Any chance to stay with a local over staying in a hotel I view as a great opportunity to more fully experience the place you're visiting. I am planning a trip to Europe this summer, and I am hoping to meet some new people in the process. I am also interested in eventually hosting, I just need to figure out where I'm living next year first!
