I graduated college in May so after 17 years of school I wanted to explore a bit of the world.

I just spent 4 months travelling around the states and Canada, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with my boyfriend. Now I’m backpacking around Southeast Asia for 2 months solo!

I want to get off the beaten path, see beautiful things and meet exciting and friendly new people. I’m open minded and adventurous, I try to live intentionally, and I love to try everything and learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is always the best through the eyes of a local-I love to meet new people and share ideas and views on life. Plus, Couchsurfing is an amazing concept and community!

Also any climbing/mountaineering/extreme sports (free solo!! and the dawn wall!) and just good documentaries
