I'm a twenty three year old semi recent graduate (I swear, college keeps getting farther an farther away) with plans of heading off to grad school for Library and Information Science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Omaha is a really hard place to be when you've lived there for so long and are feeling the itch to travel and see things while it is still possible. Looking to have as many new and wonderful experiences as possible before settling down semi-permanently.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am phenomenal at trivia. I have more useless knowledge than I can put to practical use, so enlist me for your trivia team. I'm also athletic with more energy than I know what to do with, so if you're interested I am up for joining in on sports or whatever else you have to offer. I'm also fairly low maintenance and easy going. I'm always up for a good conversation.

Countries I’ve Lived In
