Born and raised in Nebraska before I moved around a bit, including Washington D.C., Peru, Denver, and now completing medical residency in Portland with my partner and our many pets. I love to travel, ski, climb, hike/backpack, cook (pescatarian), play board games, and meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new locals who can tell me the unique things to do in a city to get the full, authentic experience.

Student loans are real! As cheap hostels are not an option in the majority of the U.S., I am excited to try couch surfing as an alternative.
