Born in Rochester, NY; raised in Clinton, NJ; studied in central PA and Ecuador. I now hope to travel, volunteer and learn on a tight budget before I plant roots. I thoroughly believe in the value of making connections and friends wherever I go. I would love to meet and share stories and new experiences!

Actualmente, vivo en Medellín, Colombia. Agosto 2018-mayo 2019 estoy trabajando como docente de inglés. ¡Mil gracias a la comunidad de Couchsurfers de Medellín por recibirme con tanta amistad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I travel, I hope to better get to know my own country and the countries I visit by getting to know a few more of the people who populate them. I'm blown away by the hospitality of you lovely folks with couches and floors. I'm also interested in Couchsurfing meet-ups.
