I'm adventurous, I love trying new things, meeting new people, learning about and participating in other cultures, and living in the moment. I have a passion for people, an unquenchable curiosity, and a desire to experience as much of the world as I can! Born and raised in a small town in Washington State, USA, I've gone to school in Seattle for the past five years and am headed to start a new life adventure in Chicago working for Accenture...but not until after some much needed world travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a soon-to-be graduate of the University of Washington, I'm traveling Europe solo this summer for five weeks and looking for authentic, local experiences! I'm looking to make memories on somewhat of a budget.
