20 year old student at Dartmouth College. I grew up in Oregon, currently live in New Hampshire and am trying to see as much of the world as possible in between the two. I would much rather meet locals and see countries in a spontaneous way than see "tourist-musts". I am fascinated by language and willing to try to learn anything you can throw at me.

I also travel for food. Tell me where there is good food and I will be happy. One of my passions in life is music, and I love playing, listening to and experiencing different music wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a way to make connections across the globe! Plus, college is expensive and this makes travel possible!
