Hello!

I’ve done quite a bit of traveling, the majority of it solo, and Couchsurfing is continuously my go-to for connecting with other travelers and locals that allow me to see a different side to visited cities and countries.

I’m from the States, and have also lived in New Zealand and Australia. I’ve visited SEA and Europe, with no plans of stopping. While I’m not exploring foreign countries, I love rock climbing, running, reading, and wandering aimlessly around new neighborhoods.

In early 2019, I’ll be backpacking around South America for a few months if anyone has suggestions :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living in California my entire life, I have a limited perspective of the rest of the world. I'm opening myself up to learn from each and every person I meet, because we all have our own unique story to tell.

I´ve met new friends from all over the world during my trip through Europe, all via Couchsurfing connections. It is always comforting to know you can make a friend on the other side of the world before you actually get there :)
