I've lived in Anchorage, Alaska most of my life but love to travel. I am currently living in Atlanta, Georgia. I have family scattered all around the world, and taking courses in international studies and languages at UAA instilled a passion for learning about new cultures. I particularly love trying (and cooking) traditional foods and meeting new people. On a warm day you'll find me out and about hiking, running, or just basking in the sunshine, but I won't say no to a good book or movie on a rainy day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I would like to try a new way of traveling to get to know people in the places I visit!

Interests

I love cooking and eating; when I was a kid I wanted to be a professional chef! I didn't end up going that route, but I still love cooking and baking, and feeding my friends and family.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book depends on the day, and I enjoy reading most genres. In terms of music, I'll listen to anything once, especially if it's live. Give me your recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to travel to Peru in 2013, where I lived with a family in a small village in the Andes working on their farm. It was a radically different experience from my life growing up and I learned a lot from being put so far outside my comfort zone.

What I Can Share with Hosts
