About Me

ABOUT ME

I am currently an architecture student pursuing my Masters degree at UT Austin in Texas. When I have the time, I enjoy hosting and meeting new people, gardening, playing with our chickens, and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting whenever possible. At this point, I have hosted more than travelled, but am eager for more trips!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CouchSurfing when I desperately needed a place to stay while I took a week-long painting workshop in Colorado. I was quite fortunate to find a very generous host who took me in despite my lack of CouchSurfing history. I have since met similarly wonderful CouchSurfers co-hosted with my boyfriend Jeremy and I am eager to continue doing so!
