I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!

Born and raised in South Dakota. Now I live on the East Coast working with international students. I absolutely love to travel and meet new people. My goal is to visit more countries than my age. Overall, I am a low maintenance traveler who just keeps it simple and fun. My life is definitely interesting, so I have plenty of stories to share if you'd like to hear :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CSing because CSers are amazing people with so many stories and life experiences to share. Generally, we are all like-minded people who enjoy all walks of life and traveling. CS allows you to meet fabulous people that you would not normally meet if it weren't for this site. I love CouchSurfing and everything it stands for. I have had nothing but positive experiences hosting, surfing, and just meeting up with others that I can't get enough of it!

Interests

I love to listen to music. I currently have been jamming out to bachata since I lived in the Dominican Republic for 3+ years. I enjoy going to concerts (especially if it's Lady Gaga--I'm kind of obsessed actually), and I could listen to Christmas music all year round b/c I'm that awesome ;) I also love to travel, and someday I would LOVE to go to New Zealand. Lastly, I love to talk with people; they have so much to say if you just take the time to listen!
