CURRENT MISSION

Feeling out this travel tool for the time being, then hopefully I'll be swayed to give up my couch and help out some travelers sometime.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and I enjoy learning about diverse cultures... through beer.

PHILOSOPHY

When in Rome, go to an Irish bar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I decided to try this site with the intention of offering up my couch if I decided that it was safe, but I have roommates who aren't as open to letting people stay. I have met a few people through this site and gotten drinks with them which has been a great experience. I'm always more than willing to give advice to travelers if I'm not available for drinks as well.

Interests

Teaching colorguard/winterguard.
Bioinformatics
I take a lot of dance classes.
