Hi there! I'm looking forward to getting to know you, a little snippet about me...

I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, USA and I absolutely loved it. I've never been somewhere so green and friendly as back home.

After I graduated from high school I went to school in Utah, USA but I decided I'd like to travel and explore more before I could decide on a degree/career.

Last year I worked in New Hampshire with an AmeriCorps program called City Year where I tutored elementary age kids in a low income school; service and helping others has become a passion of mine.

I've been living in Paris for a few months now and I'm hoping while I'm in Europe I'll be able to visit as many places as possible to truly take advantage of this big opportunity for myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is one of my favorite things! I wish I could host people but I don't have that ability now.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
My spotify account is one of my prized possessions! I own a ridiculous amount of cds, and I've been to more concerts than I can count but I'm always in to experience more. Some of my favorites have been the Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Twenty One Pilots.

BOOKS
I don't think I ever have fewer than 10 books sitting by my bed waiting to be read, I'm a tad overzealous that way. Some of my favorites are Virginia Wolfe, Walt Whitman, and Keri Smith. Right now I'm making my way through Love in the Time of Cholera. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear 'em!
