I'm 21, female, very outgoing, and spunky. I've moved around a little bit, but have stayed between SD and Colorado (with the exception of Alaska). Currently I'm working until I can go back to school for early childhood development/education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some people are born with an innate ability to get the most out of any situation, and a complete lack of inhibition in regards to just going and exploring. I'm not one of them, but I'm slowly learning! I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to go to Seattle between March 14th and April 20th. However, I have very limited resources and yet I believe this goal has to be achievable somehow. Since I love meeting new people and diving into new experiences that locals have to offer, this seemed like a perfect fit!

Interests

Writing, hiking, coffee (well, really the more sugary latte-like drinks), spending time with my family, going out with friends, meeting new people, driving through the Badlands here in South Dakota, reading, singing loudly and out of tune to the radio, and ways to improve early childhood education (work in progress).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in Alaska this past summer! I fabulously cleaned bathrooms and picked up trash and fell in love with beautiful, wild, incredible Alaska. So excited to go back this summer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook a meal for any gracious hosts! Also, I'm great with kids so if you need someone to keep an eye on them, I could do that too (references are available).
