Born and raised in Vermont, a St. Louis transplant for years, and now a physical therapist in Flagstaff. I am a lover of all things outdoors - mountain biking, backpacking, rock climbing, skiing….I love to travel and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our first couchsurfing experience was with this amazing host in Puerto Rico - she was gracious, vivacious, and gave us a view into a part of the US that we never knew. We loved meeting new people in new places, feeling like locals more than tourists - and in return, became hosts! It has become a great way to share part of the town we love, to connect to “strangers”, to learn and respond to diversity. We always leave a couchsurfing experience feeling refreshed and motivated to see more and meet this world’s wonderful people.
