I am a 24 year old Ohioan female who has decided to embark on a journey along the west coast! I have never been further west than Colorado, where I lived for a few months, so this is an intimidating, yet exciting adventure for me! My plan is to find a city along the way in which I can establish my roots after traveling. A little about myself personally, I love talking and listening to hours worth of life stories and experiences, practicing plenty of yoga, cooking tasty vegetarian meals, going on spontaneous adventures, as well as chill nights with books, art, and movies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a passion for meeting new people, experiencing new places, and looking at life through different lenses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling across the country solo sounds pretty cool to me, we'll see!

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach yoga, guided meditation, and I also am a reiki practicioner and would love to do sessions/classes for those welcoming me into their homes. I have a strong desire to learn other languages and cultures, offering me help with learning a new language is one of the most precious gifts an individual can give. I would also love to learn about places to travel to (especially parks, secret nature spots). I'd like to say I am pretty skilled at whipping up some tasty veggie meals (but 'tasty' is rather subjective). Anyways, I would love to share a meal... or five :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, delicious meals, reiki, yoga, wine, books, memories.
