I am 22 and on a mission to see the world. I recently graduated from university, where I studied English, spent some time studying in Scotland, and traveled a bit. I'm a writer, and use my travels as inspiration.
I love children, food, and trying new things. I enjoy cliff-jumping, and I travel with a hammock, so if you have two trees I can string my hammock between, I may not even need a bed/couch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel on a budget, and I love meeting locals while I travel. What better way to do that than to spend a night or 2 on their couches?

Interests

I love eating interesting foods, writing, reading good books, and sitting down for a drink or a cup of coffee.

• books
• wine
• coffee
• good food
• adrenaline junkie

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy folk music, and most books. I recently read a book called "At Home in the World," and it inspired me to never stop traveling, no matter what circumstances life throws at me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped off a cliff at the easternmost point in the United States (St. Croix island), and I've jumped off a cliff at the westernmost point in the United States (The Big Island, Hawaii).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I was born into an Amish community, in Iowa. My parents left the Amish church and raised me as a Mennonite, but they taught me many things about the Amish culture that most of the world does not know or understand. I would love to share some of this history and heritage with you! I am a storyteller at heart, and love to listen and tell.

I am also a hard worker and I love cooking.
