I'm a recent college graduate who has a passion for adventure and learning. I'm a cool cat, and hope to meet like-minded individuals. I talk too much, am often honest to a fault, and I really, really love meeting new people. I just got a job in DC, but it's unpaid through summer training and I need to be in DC in order to find a place to live, so it seems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To surf couches. And to be in DC while I look for an apartment and a waitressing job for the next year or so. Couchsurfing sounds like the perfect fit for me- I love meeting people and sharing kindness. I think everyone who hosts strangers for free is pretty darn awesome, don't you?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered in Nicaragua for three months teaching English to 50 of the most beautiful souls in the world. My second picture is from my summer there. Gosh, I wish I could go back tomorrow.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- through your actions.

Learn- at every opportunity.

Share- smiles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a mean meal! I offer vitality and positivity. I often offer a new outlook on life, and I am always willing to help out around the house. I'm almost annoyingly respectful (always please & thank yous) and will probably bring you baked goods (gluten free, but delicious) as a thank-you for hosting me! Do you need help with homework or a babysitter for the night? I'm down for that, too.
