I am a traveler at heart that loves meeting people from all over the world- it is really the best form of education. I was 18 when I was bit by the travel bug when I first left the United States to volunteer in Kenya. Ever since then I have made it my mission to work hard to travel hard! I have my degree in Communications and Community Development from University of California, Davis. I currently live and work in Mombasa, Kenya.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have stayed at countless hostels and though they are fun, I am broadening my horizons and expanding my comfort zone by meeting locals and truly backpacking on a budget!

I sat a 10 day silent mediation called Vipassana- very enlightening :)
