I am a 30 y.o. who loves to hike, bike, and crochet. I love people and spending time in nature without screens. I have a job I love in a beautiful state, and this is my first trip outside of the United States.

Here is a professional snippet about me:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Firstly, I'm on here to meet interesting people who know a thing or two about the area I'll be solo travelling in (Iceland); I am attempting to keep my shelter expenditures relatively inexpensive so I have the ability to invest in experiences.

I'd love to meet people who would be interested in hanging out and exploring.

Music, Movies, and Books

Audio preferences: wide variety - I mainly love rock, techno, and indie.

Films: comedies, biopics, or documentaries. (Usually, I crochet through whatever I'm watching so foreign films are often difficult for me to "watch," although I like them as well.)

Page collections: I enjoy books that help me to learn more about the world, but occasionally enjoy a fiction novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved across the United States by myself (3,000 miles) to live in an intentional community/commune. Risky adventure, but totally worth it. Learned a lot about communication and shared living/cohabitation through that experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Puns, funny stories, crocheted gifts, cleaning or cooking. Would be more than willing to get you food or drink for hosting. I've been told I'm excellent company. Love to discuss health topics and since I used to work in mental health, I'm a fairly open book as well as a good active listener.

If customs wasn't going to be an issue, I'd probably bring you vitamins to share. I have SO MANY VITAMINS in my cabinet!
