CURRENT MISSION

I would like to go everywhere and learn about everything. It's sort of a work in progress.

ABOUT ME

I'm shy at first, but I like meeting new people. I've lived most of my life in Wisconsin, but have been studying at the University of Caen in France for the past several months. I'm working towards my bachelor's degree in international studies, and in the summer I work as a gardener.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just by surfing at this point, but once I'm settled in one place I'll hopefully be able to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple friends and I surfed in Paris in February 2011, and I recently stayed with two different hosts in Switzerland. I'm hoping to be able to host travellers once I'm a little less nomadic.
