I'm absolutely ready for an adventure any time ...any where! I like taking photographs, tending my vast succulent collection, riding horses, and dreaming about places I've never been. You can test my knowledge of beer but you'll probably kick my butt at beer pong (maybe one of these days we'll turn that ping pong table into a beer pong table...). My favorite color is definitely a shade of sparkle. I absolutely LOVE animals. You're traveling with an animal friend? You're welcome to stay with me!

I just recently graduated from the University of Rochester with a major in English, minor in Legal Studies, and a concentration in Environmental Studies. My next step will be law school-I want to focus on environmental law! My dream school is in Portland, Oregon!

I find water laws and wetland conservation initiatives fascinating!

I got my first taste of travel and adventure on a trip to China as a junior in high school! I had only been to Canada before that! Since then, I've studied abroad twice in College: once in Amsterdam and once in London!
I also took a trip to Montreal with my French class!
I love horseback riding, kayaking, hiking, camping, occasionally being an extra in commercials, and sitting down with a cup of coffee and a good book. I'm easy going, considerate, and open-minded. I hope to meet many amazing and unique people through CS!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to this insane CS meeting while abroad in London. My friend and I followed a crowd of couch surfers to this squatted flat! There was a secret knock on the door! Once we got in we were encouraged to draw all over the walls! There were couches everywhere and there was a huge concert in the basement! The squatted housemates went dumpster diving at a pret a manger so the food was delicious...and free!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the Great Wall of China with one of my best friends. On the same trip I also ate the best sweet and sour chicken at this restaurant nestled in the hills of a tea farm. The window near our table overlooked rolling hills blanketed with a light fog.
