About Me

I enjoy books, climbing, hiking, and cooking.
I'm passionate as hell about food, I want to try everything.
Recommend a book to me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of karma, of paying it forward, of good things coming back around is central to my life. I'm new to the couch surfing experience, but I've had an account since 2014. I'm just now finally getting to explore though.
I met some other couchsurfers in Dublin and I'm a huge fan of the community of people couchsurfing attracts. I want to add to and be a part of that.

Music, Movies, and Books

My dad raised me on classic rock and my grandpa played a lot of jazz for me. I'm up for most every form of music depending on my mood. Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin,
Favorite books/movies include all the Marvel movies, Lord of the Rings, I got bullied in middle school because of how much I like Star Wars, no shame there.
I just watched Sound of Music for the first time in April when I was in Salzburg.
The last book I read that blew me away was called "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russel. It's about a Jesuit mission to make first contact with an alien planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've rolled down a hill in 5 countries

Teach, Learn, Share

The best way I've found to get the most juice out of a lemon is to throw it into the microwave for ~10 seconds, roll it hard on a countertop, and then cut open and squeeze it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell a couple jokes?
I enjoy cooking if you want to do that together. I'll also clean every dish in your house. I'm always up for adventures as well.
