My name is Madeline, but I go by Maddie. I'm a 21 year old engineering student at North Carolina State University located in Raleigh. I'm hopeful that experiences I make couchsurfing will introduce me to new friends and help me make my travels that much more exciting and memorable. I'm an avid backpacker and traveler and would love to exchange stories and get to know each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE traveling, but the costs add up, and as a student it's challenging to keep up with the expenses. Additionally, I'm starting to travel alone more frequently, and I want to meet new friends along the way--possibly through couchsurfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've summited seven 14,000ft mountains in Colorado! They were all amazing climbs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything. I want to minimize my touristy habits and indulge myself in the culture of wherever I'm traveling to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, wine and good music. Also, I am always more than happy to help around the house. Your generosity means a lot to me. Thank you!!!
