Hi! I love traveling to new places to see new cultures, try new foods, and meet new people! While my work requires me to to travel, I find that traveling for fun is much better since there's not the stress of worrying about work.

I've been to many countries around the world. I've also studied abroad for long periods of time in Costa Rica, Spain, and China. Each place was unique and special in their own way - I will never forget them!

I am also a big animal lover - I especially love dogs! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people in the places that I visit. I think that it is a lot more fun to know people when you travel somewhere. Having friends there to explore with you makes the experience so much more memorable and special.
