Hi! I'm 19 year old nursing student from Anchorage, Alaska currently studying at the University there. Ive had the opportunity to travel for most of my life and I am so grateful. I lived in Germany for a year in highschool and am fairly fluent in German still. I'm currently on a year long break waiting for the nursing program to begin in the summer of 2018. I want this year to be memorable and meaningful. It's off to a good start! I just completed a 5 week trip through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. I'm planning on heading to Germany, France, Holland, and Sweden in May with a friend of mine and I've also been accepted to go to the University of Stirling in Scotland this fall! :) Between trips mostly I just work like a mad man waiting tables. I'm respectful, kind, pretty low key, and have a reasonable amount of fun :) I look forward to meeting new people in my travels ahead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love new places and people. Some of the best friends I have I've made through traveling. I love the idea of a sharing community. I run an Airbnb in the summer which has empty dates pretty often, I'll be opening that up to couchsurfing soon. Why not give some use to that empty space?

Interests

I love Alaska and all of the opportunity it provides to ski, hike, and get your daily fix of the outdoors. Between school and work I try to cram in as much as I can. When I'm having a day in, I can't say that I don't love binge watching a good show on Netflix.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love anything I can jam out to. Harry Potter obviously is my favorite book. Singing in the Rain is my favorite movie.
