Growing up in Colorado made me fall in love with adventure and the mountains. I left the United States for the first time while going on exchange to the Netherlands; and of course, I fell in love with the world and traveling. I love languages, LOVE food, people, music, and finding the best coffee (and beer) and brunch around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people! I love to go where the locals go and find the hidden treasures of a city that one cannot find by following tours or staying in hotels. Couch surfing looks like a community of travelers and people who are like-minded to myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music you can dance to: funk, disco, jazz, salsa. The Beatles, Capyac, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Jungle, and Parcels are some current faves. I love most types of music, as long as it's good.
I love historical fiction books and books with strong female leads.
