About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world post-graduation pre-career.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate of Kansas State University where I majored in Geography and Latin American Studies (aka traveling). I love being outside, seeing new places and ways of live, trying exciting food, and generally doing anything I haven't tried before. I have chronic wanderlust and have no idea what I will do in the future but for now I will see the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Use the word 'no' as sparingly as possible, always have a smile, and don't get worked up cause you're still alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had a stable place since graduating college so hosting would only be possible when I am back home working....but not many travellers venture out to SW Kansas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Used it a couple times in college with great success and people.

Interests

Hitchhiking, mountain unicycling, bike riding, snorkling, traveling, camping, hiking, and anything outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch too much TV butlove informational documentaries dealing with science or interesting lifestyles. I love all sorts of musice. I read as much as possible (though it is hard to lug around heavy books in my backpack), my mom has been a librarian for the last 25+ years so it was an instilled passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying in Guatemala when I was 16 for six months. When I was 18 I hitched from Kansas to Guatemala, spending over a month in Mexico (one of my favorite countries). Winning the Great Hitchhiking Race for the last two years! (sorry it is hard to chose just one!)

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, El Salvador, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Guatemala, United States
