I graduated from University last July, and since have been earning money to return to the USA to see as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Very close friends of mine have had great experiences with couch surfing and I'm hoping to have some too while I travel around the States! Without wanting to sound too hipster I also love getting a locals insight into places I visit. While I love all the touristy stuff in places I'm visiting for the first time, I love even more meeting people, making new friends, and finding out about where their favourite dive bar, book shop, record store, gig venue is as well!

While I'm unable to host atm I definitely want to in the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying for a semester in a small hippy town in upstate NY changed my life. I'm desperate to have similar experiences across the rest of the USA!
