Hi! I’m a recent college grad traveling now because I didn’t have a year abroad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m going on a pretty extended trip through different countries and would love to stay with locals to get a full idea of life there 😊

Interests

I love running, nature, books, animals, and language!

• writing
• books
• coffee
• reading
• hiking
• swimming
• tea

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Junot Diaz, Wild Kids by Ta Chun Chang, The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson, Murakami in general, A Visit From the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo... the list goes on :’) and of course, the Chicken Soup for the Soul books were a staple growing up 💫 as for other media, The Office is a staple, followed by How I Met Your Mother, and Good Morning Call. There’s more cultured things I watch, but I just love to laugh!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a trail 50k two months after deciding to do so, did well, and loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing book and show recommendations, eating and drinking coffee/tea with people, and running, hiking, and exploring!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a fair amount of nature and animal facts, help with anything English (that’s what my degree is in!), help cook, clean, and anything else that pops up 😊
