CURRENT MISSION // To see and absorb everything this earth has to offer. I live by the motto: Fear less, experience more. I want to visit every country in South America by the time I am 30.

ABOUT ME // I am a wide-eyed explorer with an affinity for the outdoors. I always have a smile on my face. I was born in Nebraska, educated in Missouri and once lived in Argentina. I'm currently home-based in San Francisco, Calif. I try to travel often and pause to explore the simple things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to make friends around the world and truly experience the culture of each place I visit. The best way to do that is by staying with locals!

Interests
