I'm very open, honest, and caring. I respect others and am open-minded. I love to meet new people and gain new experiences. Outdoor enthusiast, conservationist. I've been traveling around the country for almost two years, primarily camping, backpacking, and performing work exchanges.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met a few people who have done couch surfing and they recommend it as a great way to travel and meet people from the areas where one is visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked over 700 miles on the AT. Hoping to do the whole thing one day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about other cultures and also explore areas I've never been to. I'm very adventurous. I've been traveling across the country in my car and while I enjoy some solitude, I love meeting new people and sharing stories and adventures. Exchanging ideas with other people has given me great insight and has also helped me greatly with extending my own travels.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with cleaning and cooking and also love great conversation. I'm open to learning new things and attempt to help out in any way that I can or that I'm needed.
