I guess I fit into the 'young professional' category at the moment, but think that I have a pretty wide background and have a lot of varying future goals. So I think it's hard to categorize me.

I've always had a ton of raw curiosity and excitement about trying new things. I'm friendly, warm, and always down for a good laugh. One thing I've realized is that every single person brings something unique to the table, and that I can learn something from them. Everyone is on their own path, but we can learn a lot by taking a glimpse at another's.

Traveling is the best. Nothing is better than waking up in a new town or city, grabbing your daypack, maybe a bike, and exploring. I've met so many awesome people by throwing plans to the wayside for a bit and relaxing, exploring, and just going with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I wanted a cheap place to get some peace and quiet, I'd do Airbnb.
If I wanted a place to get no sleep and party all night, I'd go for a hostel.

Couchsurfing is for sharing a unique experience with a host for a few days and seeing how a local person lives and enjoys their life.

I'm not at all looking for a host to just show me the couch and the bathroom and say goodbye. I'm looking for a good conversation over dinner at a local restaurant, a trek around town with some new friends, a language lesson from me on some American slang... whatever comes up.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an appreciation for a wide range of music. Some I like more than others, but I can appreciate every type of music for what it is. Sometimes after seeing a certain style live can really change the way you hear and feel it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Befriending my Korean co-teacher's 5-year-old son, using my extensive (25 word) Korean vocabulary... shows you don't have to speak the same language to make a new friend!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach you how to cook a healthy, delicious meal.

Learn everything that comes along.

Share my curiosity and energy with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wake up every day wanting to improve my knowledge of the world, and I hope that I can share my curiosity, and what I've learned so far, with a host. I hope they can impart a viewpoint, idea, or share in an experience that I can always keep with me.
