ABOUT ME

I'm a recent graduate who was lucky enough to land a job that embodies my love of travel! Currently running ethical backpacking programs in Southeast Asia for a Canadian non-profit, but when I'm in the states, New Orleans is the place I call home. I live to travel and love to check out local food, socialize, and grab drinks in my free time. I've got a weird sense of humor, but don't we all?

PHILOSOPHY

In chaos, there is opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to the couchsurfing experience! I've spent the last couple of years living abroad, but will be returning to the US, and I'm not really sure how I've gotten by without couchsurfing thus far - But, hey, here I am now. :)
