Hey,
I'm taking some time to figure out what I want to do with my life before I go to college. I'm traveling the world trying to learn as much about other cultures as I can. I love sports and hanging out with friends. I'm also an avid reader. I'm very laid back and have an easy time adjusting to new environments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really interested in other cultures, and I think this is a great way to meet people from other countries. Also, it's super expensive to travel when staying at hotels. I grew up in a small town and this is a great way for me to meet people from a different world than mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month in Cambodia as part of an exchange trip for the Department of State (USA). The most notable part of the trip was when I went hiking through the jungle and was attacked by tree leaches, which happened to be my biggest fear. It's a lot easier to face your fears when you're stuck with them in the middle of the jungle. The best part however, was at the end of the hike when the group came to this beautiful waterfall that we swam underneath. It was breathtaking and one of the most amazing moments in my life. :)
