I'm taking a year off from formal work and traveling around the world--something I always envisioned doing and I'm grateful the opportunity is here. I recently resigned after working with Tesla selling electric cars around the United States. Prior to this, I studied politics and sustainability, which remain personal interests.

I was raised in the Rocky Mountains and high deserts of New Mexico. The sun and ranch will always mark home. I've also resided in Arizona, Minnesota, Brazil, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. While urban centers fascinate me, I crave getting outside the city and into nature whenever possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People. I hope to better appreciate and understand a new area by living with individuals who know it best and are part of the fabric of their neighborhood. Sharing space, perspectives, and experiences with others has been the most rewarding way to build relationships and, with couchsurfing, I hope to continue meeting amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

My mom and grandma taught me to cook fresh food, a skill that has served me well. If you have any interest in homemade tortillas, tacos, or burritos, let's do this! I'm also an artist - drawing, painting, and graphic design.
