CURRENT MISSION

Live, love, travel; share the awesomeness of couch surfing to all the non-believers out there

ABOUT ME

Currently taking a break from my job in global public health to do a 3-month, roughly 4,000 mile bike tour around the Northeast US and Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had so many amazing experiences through couchsurfing and have been able to meet people and travel in ways that probably wouldn't have been possible in my pre-couchsurfing days. I've surfed around the US, hosted people at my house in Tanzania and even climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro with other couchsurfers. I've definitely made some great friends in the process ; can't wait to get out there for more adventures!
