CURRENT MISSION

A global lifestyle, at home or abroad!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Midwestern American girl who loves the weird glory of road trips. There's magic to obscure roadside attractions.

I lean toward the geek side of the spectrum, with a healthy appreciation of Star Trek, video games, and zombie movies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In August I'll be backpacking around Europe with two Australian friends and we would appreciate tips, couches, or coffee meetings with locals.

In the past I've happily played tour guide and hotelier to friends visiting the Chicago and Madison areas. After my return in September I'd be delighted to return trip karma by hosting others.
