Hello! 😃

Employed. College educated. Vaxxed. I've lived in Japan for a year in college. I've been to/through 22 states and 1 Canadian province thus far, and I also spent a week in Germany. I'm hoping to have all 50 states under my belt eventually. I have a wide array of hobbies and interests. I love trying new things. And I love to feel boundless and unburdened

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love road trips, and I love meeting new people, but I don't love spending money on hotels or airbnbs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
