I love to learn about other places and people, doing this through travel when I can. Wherever I am, I like to seek out adventures and the undiscovered. I enjoy spending my free time in nature: hiking, swimming, or just in a hammock with a good book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet wonderful people at home and while I travel. I'd love to listen to and share stories with other travelers while we create new ones together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year of high school living with a host family and attending school in the Philippines. It's certainly been one of the most impactful events in my life thus far, allowing me to completely immerse myself in a new family, culture, language, and customs. I hope couch surfing can be a bit like that experience: new friends and a local's view of their city and country. Couchsurfing in Nicaragua, Mexico, and the US have been great experiences so far, and I hope to meet more couchsurfers through hosting or surfing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a happy, polite person who can get along well with all types of people. I can share tips, contacts, and resources about the places I've been. I also like to make cookies, so I can make you some if you like!
