Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Expand my boundaries and find what I love; the best way to do this is through meeting other people and travelling the world.
ABOUT ME
I'm a fun loving, relaxed, curious 25 year old female from the United States. I love traveling, reading, cooking, having amazing conversations, and living in other cultures. My partner, Michael, and I just finished traveling in Southeast Asia.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am always a mix between traveling and hosting. I first used CS as a surfer in Europe while on a study abroad, and then I hosted in Charelston, SC. This summer we stayed with an awesome couple in Burlington, VT, and ended up become close during our time there! I have met many wonderful people through Couchsurfing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Barcelona, Paris, Bordeaux... and then I have hosted in Charleston, SC for quite a few people. Recently we stayed with people in Vermont, USA.
