About Me

I've spent most of the last four years as a hiking guide in Guatemala raising money to support a school and home that the organization has created. I have a huge place in my heart for Guatemala and absolutely love Latin American culture and the people over there. I have been traveling and adventuring on my own for so long, but I am now realizing that my favorite part of life are the people I meet along the way. Soon to be stepping foot in Europe for the first time and very curious how it feels compared to the US.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel by myself mostly and while it is easy to find free places to camp, this does not help me meet other people sometimes. People are my favorite part of life so I'd love to meet some cool ones to stay with while seeing the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wow, when it comes to music I really try and take advantage of Spotify and am constantly finding new music. Pretty much a bit of everything.
Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen King and John Steinbeck are probably my favorite authors. Read East of Eden!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed up to the rim of one of the worlds most active volcanos and right when I got there it erupted...yeah I'd love to tell you that story!
