I'm from Virginia and went to college in Ohio and found myself working at a summer camp for the last five summers in between school. I have a super soft spot for dogs. Two of my favorite activities are knitting and backpacking, and I'm starting to get back into long distance running after a break in college. I was in a sorority and people are always surprised when I say that, so that's something. This is a funny section for me to fill out because "About Me" seems like a really vague question. If you have more specific questions, I'm always happy to answer! Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was road tripping state-side for a while and now that I'm settled for a while, I'd like to open up my home for guests and new friends. Having shared experiences with others that I can look back on fondly is important to me, and there's always room to meet others and continue to have those experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Supervised 60 18-year old staff members over the course of a summer. Among the adventures I've had like spending a few months living in an eco-village in Iceland or backpacking for 45 days in the Brooks Range, I feel that at this point in my life, supervising that many individuals was an incredible accomplishment for me.
