I grew up in the suburbs of St. Paul, MN, but have grown to love the world and all it has to offer. I have had opportunities that have only expanded in recent years that have taken me to many countries around the world, and almost every U.S. state (only 1 left)! I love learning about cultures, trying new things (including food), and hearing others' stories. When I am not working with volunteers, I can be found outside, spending time with my family and many pets, or exploring somewhere and learning new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about other cultures and often find the best way to do that is to get out of my comfort zone and stay with locals. Thank you for hosting me!
