Semi-young professional female married with a dog, living in the Midwest. I love to travel and am always thinking about my next trip. My favorite thing about traveling is seeking authentic experiences, meeting locals, and trying new local foods. I love meeting new people and being active and outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from different parts of the world, and hopefully make new friends and learn something from knowing them in the process.

Interests

Meeting new people and learning from them. Anything outdoors and being active: hiking, yoga, rock climbing. Reading. Cooking/baking and trying new food. Photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read. Book club night is one of my favorite things. More recent favorite books are The Boys on the Boat (Daniel Brown) and Unbroken (Laura Hillenbrand). Too many all-time favorites to name, but To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee), East of Eden (Steinback) and anything by Jane Austen are all on the list.
