I'm a recent college grad who loves music, food, and outdoor adventures! I'm actually 22 but I can't figure out how to change my age lol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to see new places, but I there's a huge difference between *traveling* somewhere and *living* somewhere. Staying with local hosts through Couchsurfing is much closer to living somewhere, allowing me to feel like less of a clueless, anonymous tourist and more of a friend coming to visit.

Interests

I'm an avid rock climber, backpacker, hiker, and camper, and my passion for those activities has given me an excuse to travel to many wonderful, less-frequented corners of the world. I love studying, analyzing, talking about, cooking, and eating food. Absolutely everything to do with food. I'm happiest listening to/ making music and sharing a good meal with friends, preferably after a long day of being outside.
