I'm a 20 year old college student from Washington, USA.

I did not spend much time outside of America until I went to Scotland for about a month a few years ago. I love to explore new cities and experience new cultures, especially the different ways in which people think about the world and the values they have.

I like to play both board games and card games. Some of my favorite games are hearts, egyptian war, shadow hunter, and chess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that staying with a person who lives inside of a country adds to the experience of traveling. I like traveling because I like to understand different cultures of people and if I don't spend time with people of another culture then I miss out on a significant portion of this understanding.
