I grew up in the Central Valley in California. I'm an easygoing, positive person who loves rock climbing, outdoor adventuring, acro yoga, art, coffee shops, and being in community with people. I think traveling is a great way to learn more about people and cultures all around the world, to understand how we're all interconnected!

I recently graduated and am working in the world of behavior analysis, as well as doing research on recycling behavior interventions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing, but I'm excited to meet people from different countries who can share their knowledge with me so I can have more authentic cultural experiences. Also excited to share experiences with people back home in the States.
