About Me

I'm a 25-year-old disaster relief worker from Detroit, Michigan. My most recent trip was trekking in Peru, but I have backpacked most of western Europe (and some of eastern), toured all of Central America, road tripped across the US, and lived and worked long term in a number of federal disaster zones, among other misadventures. I lived in cooperative housing for years in college and now live in a cooperative house in Detroit with good friends and one pup. I am big on political activism, live music, good whiskey, disasters, secretly drinking in museums, petting every dog I see, and having an embarrassingly large knowledge base on historical facts and fantasy fiction. I am currently unable to host but hope to in the near future; in the meantime, I am traveling often and always eager to learn cities from locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been lucky enough to be hosted around the world by very generous friends, and to have hosted friends from around the world as well - but now I can keep track of all of it somewhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently finished a mountain trek in Peru, summiting at 16,000 feet - my first big climb.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will almost always provide you with alcohol or food in some form or another - whichever your preference! In return, you will always be welcome in Detroit (or wherever I lay my head).
