I am very laid back and easy going. I enjoy sitting around with tea and a good book, live music, card games, good beer or wine, backpacking, trail running, improv comedy, and trying new things. I've spent my last two summers working in Talkeetna, Alaska, and my last two winters in Breckenridge, CO and Park City, UT respectively!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered couchsurfing while traveling around Europe in 2014 and started hosting during college in North Carolina. All of my couchsurfing experiences have been extremely positive so far; I have met a whole lot of interesting, kind, and adventurous people.

Interests

I ran my first marathon in 2013 and I've run two more since then, and highly enjoy being active. Last winter I worked full time in Park City, UT as a bus driver and part time as a snowboard instructor. I graduated UNC with double majors in Sociology and Psychology.
