I am a passion-driven human who loves adventures and the outdoors first and foremost, currently based in Syracuse as I finish my degree in Environmental Science at SUNY-ESF.

I am a bit of a ski bum, spending my winters instructing, and often spend the warmer months working seasonal jobs-doing anything from a hostel work exchange to environmental restoration work. I also spend a lot of time road-tripping and traveling.

I love to be outside, ski, hike, slackline, travel, explore new places, experience new cultures, draw/paint, cook and taste new cuisines, learn, make music, and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am always looking for friends to go on adventures with or simply have a nice conversation with. I have used couchsurfing in the past through friends' accounts, both as a surfer and host (co-host/friend of host). I have had great experiences in the past and hope to continue :)

Music:
I'm extremely open-minded, but I like creating music as much as listening to it. Just about anything on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series or La Blogotheque series, bluegrass, funk, folk, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taken 4 cross country road trips from New York to California/Utah, as well as many other road trips from the northeast to southeast and around different parts of the country. Also, I haven't lived in the same place for more than a year in the past 7 years.

Conversation, new card games!, an appreciation for life, possibly a home-cooked meal :)
