I'm a student at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI, USA, studying geology and violin performance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent August-October 2015 in Italy, studying geology and environmental science with other students from the Midwestern U.S. After my program, I will be traveling around the UK and Ireland, and I'm hoping to have a unique travel experience on a student budget. I will be on my own for a bit, and traveling with my friends Alexie Millikin, Lena Bixby, and my boyfriend Nick.

Interests

I love making music (classical, fiddle, improv!), hiking, crafting of all sorts, cooking, eating new foods, swimming, teaching kids, and exploring and learning.
