Hi there! I am a young Master's student who loves to travel and who thinks the journey is just as important as the destination. I am originally from Massachusetts but now get to call the beautiful state of VT my home. I enjoy old books, sunrises, and a good cup of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've joined Couchsurfing because I think more formal types of lodging sometimes separate you from your surroundings too much. I'm interested in getting to know the people that live in the places I pass through, and in staying grounded in their communities. You never know who you'll meet and the connections that could form when you keep your thoughts open!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sunrise atop Camel's Hump Mountain in Vermont after hiking through the middle of the night to reach the summit by dawn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to learning others' ways of life. I like to push my own conceptions of what it means to live a normal life and one that is fulfilling in all aspects of life. I find in the moments that feel most uncomfortable, something amazing and a moment of learning is on the cusp.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to cook meals, I am very tidy, love pets, and do not smoke. I offer my own stories and an open ear to learn yours.
