I'm on the quest discover myself through my experiences. I feel the urgency of experiencing the beauty of this world and the need to preserve the natural places and unique cultures that are left. I try to live each day to the fullest, there is just so much to see, explore and learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet as many amazing, inspiring people as I can. This world could use more trust, sharing and respect, and I see Couch Surfing as a way to contribute to and participate in this. Travelling to new places is only half of the story, the people are by far the best part.

Interests

Pretty much anything and everything adventurous where I get to be outdoors. I've love backpacking, cycling, rock climbing, swimming, sailing, surfing, Ultimate frisbee, dancing, rowing, and if I haven't tried it, I want to.

My passion lies in leaving this world a better place, and I am currently researching plastic pollution in the Great Lakes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any music that makes me want to dance, and love live music most.

I like comedies and documentaries and movies that I can learn life lessons and wisdom from; some favorites are Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Human Planet.

Same thing when it comes to reading: The Solitare Mystery, Because of Winn Dixie, Tao of Pooh

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going way out of my comfort zone and doing an internship in Gran Canaria where I made so many new friends, learned a new language and really traveled and lived by myself for the first time. The trip ended with a moonlight midnight hike to the top of the Telde on Tenerife to watch the sunrise. Just one of so many amazing experiences I've gotten to have.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about gardening, living self-sufficiently, new cultures.
I can share my experiences and some of the wisdom I've come across along the way. I love to listen to others' stories and life philosophies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help around the house, cook dinner, etc and would love to share stories. I also love to host and will be the kind of guest that I would want to have as a host.
