I am a genuine Minnesota girl living in Costa Rica while teaching English. I moved because I wanted to travel, learn Spanish, live somewhere that doesn’t have -30 degree winters, meet people and try new things so here I am! I enjoy spending time outside whether it be being lazy on the beach, swimming or hiking as well as reading, cooking and yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the genuine and natural experience outside of “traditional” travel means by getting to know locals and people from around the world.

Interests

I enjoy getting out of my comfort zone, learning new things, traveling, reading, tattoos, exercise, yoga, cooking, anything to do with animals, swimming in the ocean, farmers markets, trying new foods, and documentaries.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got scuba certified on a whim while traveling solo in Costa Rica!

Teach, Learn, Share

My education/ professional background is in exercise science so I love to talk/ share about anything fitness or diet related, share insight, cook delicious food and genuine conversation.
