I'm a PhD student in Religion focusing on early Christianity, but I enjoy meeting and learning from people of all backgrounds and persuasions! On weekends you’ll often find me at the piano or out somewhere in nature. I love road tripping (especially to national parks) when I get the chance, and I usually squeeze in a few backpacking and/or mountaineering trips each summer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It’s great to meet such lovely and unique people, and to be able to travel on a limited budget!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a hard time picking favorites of anything, haha! When I have time to read something that’s not school-related, I enjoy books about outdoor adventure from authors like Bill Bryson and Jon Krakauer. My go-to music genre is Indie Folk.
