I am a recent college graduate from the US who is just starting a new adventure in Austria! Over the next 6 months, I will be working to earn two certifications to teach English as a second language. This is my second time living outside of the country for an extended period of time, and I am so excited to begin this process and meet as many new people as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is more interesting than just reserving rooms in hostels or hotels. This way, I can interact with locals wherever I travel, and everyone knows that meeting local people makes travelling much more exciting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stayed in a hotel made entirely of ice and snow in Finland. It was such a cool experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a young American who is always excited for new social opportunities. I am very easy-going when it comes to where I stay (as long as there is a space I can lie down at night, be that a bed, air mattress, couch, chair, bench, etc. and a working toilet that's all I need). I clean up after myself and will be happy to buy my own food or even make meals for my host, and I actually enjoy doing dishes. I also just love being in a new environment and sharing stories about my culture while learning about something new!
