Studying botany at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (the best place in the world?) I love plants, especially the kinds you can eat, I love to cook and hike and talk, I REALLY love to play my bank (like, really really). I hate wasting time, sleeping, and being stuck in one place. Of course, my true passion is to travel. I love to travel by foot, walking and hitchhiking and camping every day. Always looking to learn anything I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the places only a local can know, to learn and to teach, to share the hidden beauty of Carbondale Illinois with anyone lucky enough to pass through, and to make connections around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to host while at school in Carbondale. I can share and bring you to the local climbing crags, hiking areas, or fishing spots and would love to cook a huge, probably dumpster sourced meal for anyone! I love music and always want to share and learn from musicians of any background. Trying to work on my Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Banjo! I have a guitar and keyboard and cool roomates too
