I am a graduate student in religious studies. When I'm not dedicating time to the glamorous life of reading and writing, I am playing rugby, baking, or tending to my potted plant garden. I love going to new places, but for the moment I am satisfied traveling locally in California.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always valued local experiences when I am abroad and I am looking forward to providing that for others. While it would be glamorous to have enough space for people to rent, I have a small place and really only a couch to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been hopelessly lost in the Italian countryside only to charm some construction workers that spoke no English with my two learned sentences in Italian. We made it back after three hours of hiking through vineyards - not the worst way to be lost!
