I graduated from college last year and am working/writing/traveling until I begin graduate school in the fall 2015. I want to see more of the world after way too much time in the library.
Even though I am just joining CouchSurfing, I have met new friends in hostels wherever I go. Meeting people (and eating the local food) are the reason I travel!
I love to cook, and try to find the best cafes and restaurants in every city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the way to get a real experience in a city where I would otherwise be a tourist. I hope that I can bring some cheerfulness into my host's home, and learn from their culture and experiences.
CouchSurfing seems like an amazing way to make lasting friends while also visiting places I would never otherwise be able to explore.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope we can share travel stories and I can visit sights that matter to you. My favorite kind of travel is when I can see what my friends care about, and go where they like to go.
I was the oldest of 4 kids, so I am good with chores and making meals! Depending on my host, I am happy to talk about anything/everything or I can keep to myself. I want to be as accommodating as possible because you the host have been so accommodating to me!
