After a bit over a year of roadtripping and occasionally Couchsurfing, I decided to come to rest in the Pacific Northwest!

I once was a Couchsurfer surfer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I started:
I'd had this insatiable wanderlust for quite some time, and decided that it was the time to just...go. It's not simply about going wherever I want or doing whatever I want...I want to meet people. Awesome people! I want to experience cities as I visit them. I want to experience things that I can't experience on my own. I want to be outside of my comfort zone.

Currently:
So many awesome people took me into their homes while I was on the road for over a year, that I want to pay it forward however I can. I've had some really great experiences that I wouldn't have had without Couchsurfing, and I want to continue to have those experiences with fellow Couchsurfers!

I spent my entire year of 30 funemployed and technically homeless, living out of my Subaru while traveling to pursue my passions!
