About Me

Hi!
I grew up in a small town in the Rocky Mountains of the US. I started traveling at a young age and fell in love and now I can't stop. I took the year off before university to travel and work. I spent some time traveling around Europe and just finished living in Valencia, Spain as an Au pair. After that I went down to South America and did a mix of odd jobs, staying with friends, and Couchsurfing! I am currently in Bolivia, doing research on air quality in a weather monitoring station in La Paz and then will spend a few free weeks traveling. With my free time, I hope to meet some people on my travels and be able to share my experiences and learn about yours

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I love meeting new people and traveling and this is a fun and affordable way to do that.
Right now I'm here to travel and expand my horizons, but I'm hoping soon I will be settled and be able to return the favor so many have done for me.
