Recently graduated from William & Mary with a degree in marketing; I've been working in communications and development for a few years for a couple nonprofits, and have done some pretty cool field work as well (taught English to gypsy population in Spain, community development with a hill tribe in rural Vietnam, going to Kenya this summer to work with 'humanure'). Anyways, I love people a lot and am on a mission to hear and cherish as many human stories as possible around the world. I hate small talk, love learning, play guitar, love to run & am a big sports fan.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Honestly, I'd rather get to know locals and families as I travel than spend time in hostels drinking beer.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Great vibes, a positive attitude, an eager listening ear to hear stories. Practically, I'm great with kids, respectful of different cultures and households (have lived in many different home-stays around the world), clean, and always happy to help out in any capacity (cooking, errands, cleaning, etc.)
