I live and work in a small neighborhood in the town where I grew up - Fort Wayne Indiana. I've lived both on the east coast, and west coast, and draw much of who I am as a person from those places. I've loved putting roots down in the place I am from, though it isn't always romantic. I've worked in hospitality, specifically in the coffee industry for 6 years, and am incredibly lucky to have made a hobby a career.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I manage a small cafe in my hometown, hospitality is both a vocation and passion. I love people and their stories, would love to hear yours and share mine. I am naturally introverted, constantly seeking the balance between service and rest. Perhaps nothing is more igniting to me than meeting humans in a space and culture I'm curious about. I'd love to see your city through your eyes and get to know you a little - if you have time, space, and desire.

Interests

I used to be a barista in a specialty shop, and now pursue coffee as a hobby.

I think a lot about space (immediate not outer) and human's interaction with it. I love words, language and overthinking communication.

I'm a sensory individual: beer, food, nature, and film.

Countries I’ve Visited

Dominican Republic, England, Mexico, United Kingdom
