I'm a young traveler from a smaller town in Ohio, USA. I spent the first half of the year teaching English in Colombia and the second half teaching in Italy. I studied International Development, with minor studies in Spanish and fine arts, but living abroad in different parts of the world has proven to be the greatest lesson of all. My hopes are to travel around recommended cities as much as my wallet permits, learn something new each day, and meet cool people along the way. I love to draw, paint, practice yoga, dance my pants off and explore artistic areas of a town!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to meet cool people then to be apart of a community of people surfing couches? I'm a frugal traveler and trying to be more low-maintenance, so crashing at kind strangers' homes seems like a smart idea.
