I am a recent college grad intent on exploring the world and learning more about people all over the globe. I love travel, and have traveled extensively thus far in my life, with more to come! Aside from trips, I am an avid runner, a psychology nerd, and a nature-lover. Good with babies, dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, and any other pets you may have about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people during my adventures, and I think I can be all the more engaged in the places I visit when I stay with locals. I love getting to know new people! I'm looking forward to building friendships around the world.
