Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I have lived in Columbia, MO for the last six years while completing my veterinary degree. I am now completing my veterinary residency and PhD at the University of Missouri.

While not working, I love being outdoors - Columbia and the surrounding area have hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. I love balancing my love of working out with my love of baking, too! I have three cats, all of whom are attention seekers and enjoy meeting new people.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I have traveled throughout the USA and Europe meeting new people through hostel and Airbnb stays, but I would love to use Couchsurfing to continue that adventure!

Interessi

I love to be outdoors and work out. My boyfriend and I have gotten into biking, and love to use the Katy Trail (reaches from Kansas City to St. Louis). I also greatly enjoy my pole fitness classes and learning new things while exercising. Other outdoor activities I enjoy include working in my garden and re-landscaping my yard.

While not outdoors, I love to cook and bake. I have baked sculpted cakes and cupcakes for friends and family in the past. I also love to curl up on the couch and read or watch movies.
