Hello! I am currently living in Hsinchu, Taiwan finishing my last semester of college. I was born in Georgia and have spent my last four years in Boulder, Colorado getting my Bachelors degree in English Literature. During the summers I work as a trip leader for a company called Moondance Adventures. I lead High School students on outdoor trips, either in the United States or Internationally.

I enjoy anything that involves the outdoors and traveling. I am a very friendly person who loves meeting new people. Enthusiastic, extremely goofy, and find humor in a lot of things including myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first time on couch surfing and I have heard nothing but great things. I did Airbnb when I was in Japan and really liked the environment of sharing travel stories and experiences. I unfortunately can't have any people stay with me at the moment. I get done with my time in Taiwan in January and plan on traveling throughout southeast Asia before I go home. When I get back to the U.S. though I will be more than happy to let someone stay with me.
