I grew up on a farm in a small coastal town north of San Francisco, where I learned to camp and surf.

I study Political Science and Economics at Duke University in North Carolina, but am currently taking a year off from my studies to travel and work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am taking 14 weeks to travel in Europe this fall and want to make it the fullest experience possible. I joined Couchsurfing hoping to find good people to stay with so I can make connections and get a better feel for the people and place that I'm visiting.
