I recently finished school and am now soul-searching as I figure out what comes next! My boyfriend and I are traveling in Europe and the eastern US. We are so enjoying seeing the world, but also looking forward to the time that we will find a place to dig roots and welcome surfers into our home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed in Scotland, Greece, Belgium, and France while I traveled around Europe in 2013, and more recently in Italy (2018).

I've hosted a few surfers and surfed in the States. Almost every experience I've had has been incredibly positive and reminded me of the goodness there is in the world -- that's what I love about opening my home and sharing with others! I hope to one day be able to offer a comfortable place for travelers to rest their feet and enjoy home cooked meals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam when conducting research for my master’s thesis on antibiotic use and resistance in wastewater Vietnam. It was challenging but incredible work, and contributed to my understanding of the one-ness of the global community.
