I'm a 22 year-old Canadian-born American. I love travelling and seeing new places, trying new food, and meeting new people. I'm always up for an adventure. I pride myself on my flexible and good-humoured nature.

I am especially interested in historic sites, churches, and countrysides. When I'm home (in Minnesota, USA), I spend lots of time out in nature exploring the woods and lakes that cover my homestate. I play guitar in a band that gets gigs in local bars, nothing serious, just for fun. I'm always up for a good jam. I volunteer at my local church with youth programs and services. I also teach some catechism classes.

I was born in Ontario, Canada, but moved to the States when I was young. I go back most summers to visit family and friends. I love cooking, but I'm terrible at it. I've been told I make a mean sandwich.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sense of adventure and drive to meet new people and share experiences led me to Couchsurfing. I had some friends do it last summer who recommended it to me as something they knew I'd enjoy.

I love travelling (who doesn't?), but I find people to be the most interesting part of this world. Show me your passions, your favourite places, talk to me about your dreams!
