I am a second year doctorate student at Iowa State University pursuing my PhD in Kinesiology. In the summers I am a wildland firefighter on a 20-person hotshot crew all throughout the western United States. This past summer I backpacked the Pacific Crest Trail. For 89 days I lived in the woods without a tent or stove, it was awesome! During the school year I enjoy running, playing sports, and going out and experiencing life. I completed my masters at Minnesota State University, Mankato in Sport and Exercise Psychology and my Bachelors at Washington State University in Psychology and Sociology.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love the people that I meet on here. Staying with someone you don't know or having someone open up their house to you requires so much trust and it is such a cool thing to be a part of. It's one thing to stay in a motel, but a complete other thing to meet local people and form relationships. To me that is what community is all about and what we need more of in today's times!
