I am a recent college graduate driving slowly across America from California to Pennsylvania. My primary passions are conversation, reading, and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to see strange and beautiful things in out-of-the-way places throughout the country, and meet people who have lived off the beaten path. I love hearing or sharing a good story and learning about new and different lifestyles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked for two weeks down the length of a river lying 90 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer only my own personal experiences and passions, though I am very open-minded and giving in communication. I am even more interested in learning about others' lives and ideas, especially how people change as they grow and the way in which memories alter perception of the present self.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am carrying a cooler full of imported wines as gifts for my hosts and I just may write you a poem about your home!

Countries I’ve Visited
