I'm a graduate student currently residing in Grand Rapids, MI who loves to travel (but still with the budget of a graduate student). I love warm and beachy places (recently went to the D.R. and Puerto Rico) but I'm also a big fan of culture and history. If you are hosting me, you'll see that I'm often in and out of the place but on the rare occurrence you do see me, it's likely with a coffee in one hand and a book in another. I'm currently a practicing vegan so if you have any tips during my trip on what to eat and local places, I'd love to hear it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a graduate student, I likely shouldn't be traveling (student loans 4eva), but it's so important to get out while you can, even finances are what stop you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've water-rappelled in Puerto Rico from a 50ft waterfall. I did not know I was doing this until I was already on the ground.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm big into social justice conversations, so if you've got an opinion, share it with me!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Dominican Republic
