I spent a few years hopping around to different seasonal jobs when I finished college. The north woods will always be home but it's been sweet getting to see so much of the country. Since I'm from Minnesota I say "bag" funny, and it's hot dish not casserole. I've been living around the California/Oregon border since 2019 working in land management.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I camp a lot when I go places, but extreme temperatures are what made me initially try out couch surfing. It's also been especially nice when I've been travelling alone to talk to hosts and socialize a bit, I've generally had really good experiences. I've only recently been in a living situation to be able to host folks, but I'm excited to be able to repay the hospitality I've been given (:
