I grew up in the Midwest, but headed south for year-round summer after college. I love to travel and experience new places and events near and far. I'm more on the quiet side, but I am always up for going out with friends to see a band, watch a game, hike, visit a brewery, or whatever the location has to offer!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My Spanish studies led me to live in Argentina for a few months where I stayed in many hostels as I traveled around the country and I hear a lot about couch surfing along the way. I am interested in couch surfing as another option of a place to stay or people to meet up with when I'm on the move! Currently, I'm planning a backpacking trip around Europe in early 2017.
Music, Movies, and Books
I was a Harry Potter kid growing up, still am! I enjoy reading classics, books by my favorite comedians, stories set around the world, and anything by Jodi Picoult. As for music and movies, I watch and listen to a little bit of everything.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Skydiving in Argentina! Also rescuing my senior dog :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I am happy to help with cleaning, dishes, various chores. I am not a great cook overall, but I can make some excellent homemade pizza!
