Just finishing up my Peace Corps service in Nicaragua. As a community volunteer, I loved meeting new people and getting to know more about their lives. In 2015, I lived in Mexico City for 6 months. I love long talks over cups of coffee, cooking and eating new things, chilaquiles, seeing museums and parks and talking about current events. I'm a news junkie, and I'm trying to get into running.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The end goal is seeing the world, but in between, I'd like to meet some new people and make new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make a pretty darn good pie crust, and I love all sorts of baking. I'd love to learn more about cooking, camping, and tying knots.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love hearing a good story, and telling one just as much.
