Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Youth in Development, Guatemala 2013-2015.

B.A. Western Washington University 2012, Spanish, Bilingual Education, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESL/TESOL) and International Studies. I also was a member of the WWU Hip Hop Dance Team!

Probably my favorite thing to do in this world besides traveling is SNOWBOARDING!! Home mountain: Mt. Baker, Bellingham, Washington.

My three favorite places in the world I have ever lived are Bellingham, Sololá, and Mendoza.

I like meeting open-minded, active, interesting and outdoorsy people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to get to know locals while I'm traveling, and to be a resource to anyone traveling through my area when I'm at home.
