I've been traveling since I graduated from High School in 2006. I first traveled to Australia where I worked as a photography intern for two years. After leaving Australia I caught the travel bug and decided to continue. I joined a year long volunteer program where I traveled around America working for nonprofit organizations all across the US. Once that finished I worked seasonal jobs in three different states in America. Following my seasonal jobs I taught English in China for 6 months then backpacked for a month. I’ve also taken trips to Mexico, Jamaica, and Canada.

I absolutely love to travel and explore above all else. Adventure is what motivates me and makes me happy. I've lived in over ten different US states and two countries.

I try to be positive, carefree, and laugh as much as humanly possible. I also try not to attach myself to too many belongings. I like to feel free, and untied.

I'm passionate about a lot of things and I'm a weird mixture of seriousness and ridiculousness.

The craziest thing I've ever done is white water rafting and I loved it. Or bungee jumping and I did not love it. 😂

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to see the world with the help of locals showing me hidden gems in their city!
