I am 25 years old and, I went to the University of Minnesota to got a degree in mechanical engineering. I worked for 2 years after studying and decided that I couldn't stand sitting at a desk staring at 2 computer screens for 10 hours a day. So I left my job on good terms, got a working holiday visa and a plane ticket to Australia. I took a couple trips to Europe while at university and instantly got hooked on traveling and meeting people from other cultures. I'm very outgoing and love to try new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am seeking the real Aussie experience! I love traveling and meeting backpackers, but I also want to meet locals and get a good feel for what it's like to be Australian. Seeing the world by doing the non touristy things would be wonderful! I lived in Minnesota all of my life and I finally found a time that was right to gain more life adventures!
