I am a native of Minnesota, USA who enjoys exploring the world and meeting new and interesting people along the way. I most love to eat, drink, walk, and learn! During college I spent time living in northern England as well as volunteering and backpacking in Eastern Europe. I currently live in the Twin Cities of MN and absolutely adore where I am from, but alas, am always on the go!

I work for an airline, and truthfully I never intended to fly for more than a year, but the freedom of time and travel is incredibly beautiful. Currently working towards a long trip to New Zealand and the opportunity to finally visit Asia.

"Own fewer things, work less, travel more."

Unfortunately, I cannot host at the moment due to my living situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best way to travel more meaningfully. I travel to learn about the world and its beautiful diversity as well as the common ties we all share. To me, its not always about what you see while exploring, but who you meet along the way.
