I am a recent high school graduate completing a gap year before attending Bennington College. I have moved a lot in my life which has allowed me to become easily adaptable to new places and with a sense of curiosity to visit new places. During my gap year I am traveling to Spain and Italy for a short period of time to cross traveling out of the United States off my bucket list, and also building a tiny house!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was 10 years old my entire family moved from upstate New York to New Mexico. We had to make this move because the 2008 recession hit my family hard and my dad had to close his business. My grandparents were living in New Mexico at the time to we decided to move in with them. Since we didn't have the budget to fly there we couch surfed our way across the united states. We traveled from state to state with me, my two younger sisters, my dad and our life packed into a tiny car. I absolutely loved the experience of meeting new and interesting people along the way and have been looking for an opportunity to do it again ever since. I think couch surfing is the ultimate best way to meet new people and experience new cultures!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and sharing food with people, so if you can offer me a place to sleep I would be more than happy to cook you whatever you might want! I am also an artist so I could create you a small piece with found art supplies.
