I'm newly graduated student and recent Connecticut resident, but I've called a lot of states home over the years (Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Pennsylvania). I live with my boyfriend, my awesome beagle, and a goofy cat. I'm generally easy to get along with, liberal, open-minded, opinionated, and loving.
When I'm not pretending to know how to be a doctor, I spend a lot of time working in my garden and keeping my beagle from eating compost.

I usually stay busy with things at work, but still love the chance to host guests. I will probably not be sight-seeing with you, but can do a decent job pointing you to some local spots of interest. If you send me a request, please make sure you have your profile completed so I can get an idea of who you are, because, ya know, we're humans <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Enjoy meeting new people, getting recommendations about places to see, and traveling on the cheap! My previous roommate turned me on to this community and I've loved both my hosting and surfing adventures.
