I am 23 and I am on a working holiday visa in Australia. I worked the first 6 months of my visa as an au pair and now I'm taking the next 6 months to travel. I was born and raised in upstate New York, USA. I am a writer and an avid traveler. I love meeting new people and exploring the world. I love being able to embrace new cultures and share my own ways of life with others. I met a great friend, Kajsa, here while au pairing in Sydney and now we are traveling together throughout the country! She is from Finland and I am from the United States.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people and would love to travel with suggestions from locals and live a more local feel of Australia. And couch surfing sounds more homely than a hostel!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Learned to Surf White Water Rafted
Teach, Learn, Share
We would love to learn about others and their traveling experiences. I can teach people the truth about the United States as opposed to movies! Kajsa can teach you Finnish and/or about her own country. Seems like a pretty popular question here!
What I Can Share With Hosts
We can share our great company and conversations. We are both very active and would love if others would like to join with us! And we are both very clean, responsible individuals. We just spent the past six months cleaning homes and watching children so we are very respectable about other people's homes!
My Interests
Writing, traveling, reading, taking adventures, hiking, going to the beach, learning new things.
