I'm a uni student from the United States here in Australia on exchange! I love curling up on the couch with a book and some hot chocolate, but I also love hiking and experiencing the outdoors. I've hiked in many areas across New England in the United States, and that is something I've been hoping to do while here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a uni student from the United States here in Australia on exchange. I love to travel, and I'm looking for inexpensive ways to see Australia while I'm visiting for the year! I'm also looking to meet friendly people who like to exchange experiences and maybe give tips on travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew 26,000 miles around the world to spend an entire year in Australia!

Teach, Learn, Share

I just learned to surf at Byron Bay, and it was awesome. I love playing sports, and I'd love to continue surfing!

I'm also passionate about volunteering, and I've worked in inner-city daycares, at the Salvation Army preparing meals, and at Habitat for Humanity where l spent my spring break building houses for low income families.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a positive, laid-back, respectful person looking to experience as much as I can, take in the sights and sounds, and make memories during my year here.

I'd love to be able to share my own experiences with travel (though I've had only a few) and with life along with my positive attitude, and I hope to learn just as much from my host!
