friendly, laid-back, ever-ready for a good time

No stranger to a red-eye train or bus, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and adventuring. I believe life begins where one's comfort zone ends. I am a committed proponent for simple, responsible, sustainable living.

Currently in Jacksonville, Florida working for multinational brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience another person's life through their own eyes and their own shoes.

I spent the summer of '16 living in beautiful Heidelberg, Germany performing research for the Universität Heidelberg Physikalisch-Chemiches Institut and traveling on the weekends. I learned more by couchsurfing in Austria, Hungary, and Germany than in the chemistry lab.

Interests

Ultimate frisbee player. Plant-based foodie. I love great food, great beer, and great company. I'm always on the look-out for a new band/artist.
