ABOUT ME

Easy-going but hard-working girl who loves being active and trying new things. I absolutely love my humble Midwest roots, but am always ready to grab any opportunity to explore outside my comfort zone. Learning about and from other cultures and experiencing different points of view never ceases to fascinate me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only just jumped into the CS community, but am very excited for the opportunity to meet new people and explore new places. I'm abroad at the moment, but once I'm back in the States I will be more than happy to show any fellow surfers around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I helped host a couple of surfers in my New Zealand flat and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to experience more of the CouchSurfing community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on the North Island of New Zealand. One of the most challenging day hikes I've ever done and definitely the most rewarding - getting up close and personal with active volcanoes, passing incredible emerald lakes and massive craters, sliding down cliffs covered in volcanic ash - Awe-inspiring!
