ABOUT ME

I've been described by many people as 'bubbly" or '10 times more excited about life than most people" and I think it's pretty accurate. I love traveling and meeting people from all over. I could also describe myself with nouns like "nonprofit professional," "idealist" or "Midbesterner". I just moved to Austin and I have to see how down my new roommates are with hosting, but until we get to know and trust each other a little better I'd still love to meet up for coffee or exploring, HMU!

PHILOSOPHY

Rule #9 - don't take yourself too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed in Chicago and many places Europe. The past year I had a blast hosting people in San Antonio and I look forward to having the capacity to host peeps in Austin, TBA.
