About Me

Hi friends! I'm traveling from the UK to Czech Republic to Italy in August and September. Then from October to December I'm traveling Portugal to Spain to Morocco! If I'm in your neighborhood I would love to meet you and hang out...also can I please crash on your couch!?

I have a degree in Geology and Environmental Studies from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. During college I worked as a tour guide. At the Geology Museum I was an outreach intern and tour guide for visiting school groups kindergarten to 8th grade! I also represented the University as a campus tour guide where I led perspective students on walking tours of our beautiful campus!! I hope you find that I am respectful, kind, and an excellent communicator.

I've studied abroad in Ecuador where I improved my Spanish speaking skills and learned about miraculous ecosystems. I spend my free time enjoying the company of my loved ones, hiking, jogging, reading, cooking, reading, following Youtubers, planning my next backpacking trip, and working on various creative/handy projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've used warmshowers as a bike tourist and as a host in Madison, WI. I enjoy sharing what I have to uplift others and I love to meet people that have traveled places I've never been!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll shamelessly admit that my favorite movie of all time is Hot Rod (2007)...I've been a Lonely Island superfan since I was in middle school. However, I love watching the latest blockbusters and I can get into pretty much any movie. I love making iMovies on my laptop and would love to learn writing skills so I can write stories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I thru hiked 220 miles once! Looking forward to doing 2600 miles someday on the PCT!
