About Me

Hello! I am a 24 year old from Oregon. To make sure I fit the stereotype, I studied Environmental Science and Geology at university so naturally I love anything outdoorsy.

Currently living in Queenstown, New Zealand. I moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2015 and have no plan to stop moving around for the next couple of years (sorry mom!).

I love conversations over a beer, camping, coffee, budget travel, warm socks, loud music, chocolate, jumping off stuff, fun facts, vegetarian food -but don't worry, I take no offense to meat eaters!, new friends, and getting to know many pockets of the world.

.......Ok, and I really really like peanut butter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals is such a great way to make friends and get insider tips on a new place! Plus, people willing to invite surfers into their homes are often the most genuine and generous people out there. I can't wait to open my own doors to surfers in the future once I am settled somewhere :)

I look forward to learning about your city and sharing stories with you!
