I caught the travel bug when I was 16 and haven't looked back since! I just finished working and living in Zambia, where I taught English for 2 years. I am laid-back, like to have fun, meet new people, swim in the ocean, and laugh until my abs hurt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite thing about traveling is getting to know a place: it's people, culture, history, and of course, food. I would much rather stay with people and make new friends than share a room with myself in a hotel.

Interests

I love: hiking, swimming, yoga, photography, making people laugh, laughing, good conversation, good food, learning new things, reading good books, and discovering new music.
