I graduated from the University of Chicago in June 2019 and they asked, “What will you do after you get your masters?” To which I could only reply, “I’m going West.” I have been on a road trip since then!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been dispersed camping for weeks, I’d like to meet new people who can give me advice on where to go and what to do next!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yesterday I accomplished my first trail that was more than 10 miles. It nearly killed me—it was 5000 feet of elevation gain. I made two friends at mile 9 who convinced me not to give up and to get to the top. It was so worth it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an elementary educator so I can teach up to fifth grade content for US elementary schools! I have undergraduate degrees in theatre and studio arts. I also have a masters in liberal arts, so philosophy and I jive well! I want to lean about sustainable living on the road, sustainable community building practices, and advance my cultural awareness by getting into the nitty gritty of travelling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make excellent chocolate chip cookies, and I will paint a picture for every host I have. I’m a pretty good artist!
