Hello! I am an enthusiastic and fun loving person excited to finally be exploring life beyond the academic world. One of my main goals is to learn more about the US through hiking, roadtripping, and mostly just talking with people. My ideal day starts with a bike ride breakfast picnic and ends with wine and conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently finished school in Ohio, and although I have loved the flatness, the intense seasons, and runs & bike rides along the cornfields, I am very excited to move on and explore more of the country.
