I'm an engineer who secretly loves the arts more than it's cool to admit. I'm crazy about my animals and traveling and wish I had time to learn way more languages, and like to spend my free time watching movies, writing about movies, thinking about movies, and being outdoors. I'm in awe of pretty much every person I've met through couchsurfing, y'all are incredible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love experiencing new things and meeting amazing people! My favorite way to get to know a new city is by getting to know the people who live there, and what better way to do that than with CS?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked across a glacier barefoot. The barefoot part was sort of an accident, but it was still one of the coolest experiences I've had.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn- I'm always down to learn new words in new languages or how to cook something exciting. Learning is pretty sweet, I'm happy to learn almost anything.
Teach-Which mushrooms are edible (or at least won't kill you) and the basics of programming? I think I'm better at learning.
Share-Movie recommendations, good food, and hopefully some neat conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cleaning, feeling useful, and talking with people when they feel up for it.
