About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world- as much as possible- and as many perspectives as possible.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Montana (thats the "western" USA)- doing Montana things- riding horses, shooting guns, rafting the rivers, etc. I have traveled to a slew of places- from Asia to S. America, and I am in love with culture of travel! I love trying new things and going places that are off the beaten track! I am currently attending Brown University and navigating a wonderful spontaneous life!

PHILOSOPHY

To learn- as much as I can, about everything! My philosophy is to meet as many people as you can- they will teach you more than a book ever could!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have never hosted, yet I surfed across Australia and had the perfect experience time and time again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with families across Australia, each one was very different, yet every time I felt a wonderful connection, and made beautiful friends. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to meet such wonderful caring people and I can't wait to be able to repay them for their never ending kindness.
