Hi :) I'm traveling to Israel, Greece, Italy, France, Germany, Thailand, India and Nepal on a gap year between August 2015 and May 2016.
I grew up in Oregon along the west coast of the United States and lived most recently in North Carolina, where I will attend college in the fall of 2016.
I fell in love with traveling when I was 16 and studied abroad in India. I hope that, as I continue to travel, I can learn more about all the beautiful cultures and places around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems like a wonderful way to travel because it gives people the chance to stay with locals and truly experience the culture of the place where they are visiting.
