I'm more or less born and raised in Austin, Texas but have lived in other places like Connecticut, Germany, and South Korea.

I'm a really great hostess and can show anyone visiting Austin my favorite locals only haunts like lesser known kickass BBQ restaurants, cool, refreshing swimming holes just outside the city limits, the best place to get a breakfast taco or see a live show, or the most killer dingy, dark, dive bars where you won't wait have to wait in line for a drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling to Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui) and Japan (Tokyo) for 3 weeks in September (September 9th-September 27th), and would love to find some new friends to hang out with, show me their favorite spots, and go drinking/karaoking/eating/etc. with!

I have hotels booked already, so really, I'm just looking for some new friends to hang out with.

I'll be traveling with my mom (she's actually a badass) but I know she'll be in bed by 10pm every night and I'm a night owl. Also- it's my vacation! I can't wait!

Interests

Karaoking to Billy Joel or Doobie Brothers songs, because duh. Snuggling baby animals. Discovering new music. Eating delicious foodstuffs. Camping when it's not ridiculously hot outside. Watching The Jerk on repeat.
