I grew up in the burbs of DC, went to school in small town middle of corn country Ohio, moved out West with my cat for a year because why not, and am now researching wetland insects in Canada. I enjoy exploring small towns, cool cities, and places with high tree to person ratios. I love hiking, traveling, music, my cat, bees, trees, gardening, cooking, and beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first time couchsurfing, I was amazed by the welcoming, trusting, generous nature of my hosts. I created my own account because I wanted to share and continue this experience. I hope to host and surf much more in the future. Couchsurfing is a such cool way to meet new people and travel. It's fun to talk to hosts and get the inside scoop of what to do in the area and it's fun as a host to hangout with couchsurfers and show them some cool spots in my town.
