I grew up in a small farming town in the state of Wisconsin in the USA. I have spent my whole life studying and teaching science. Now, after years of dreaming about it, I am backpacking around the world alone. I'll be travelling through Asia and Africa from July 2019 to March 2020.

I’m hoping to learn from different people, to see new landscapes, and experience cultures. I enjoy simple days wandering, eating, talking, reading, and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning what is special about each place, and staying in someone’s home offers the opportunity to exchange stories and culture in ways I find both fascinating and fun.
