The Couchsurfing community is one of the greatest groups of people I know. Each guest that comes to stay with me will leave as a great friend and I will do everything I can to show you around the city and make sure your time in Amsterdam is incredible. BECAUSE OF THAT, PLEASE SEND ME A PERSONALIZED REQUEST THAT SHOWS YOU ACTUALLY KNOW ME AND HAVE REVIEWED MY PROFILE. Otherwise I’ll unfortunately decline your request because I want to invest my time to make sure your experience is great and I’d hope you would be willing to invest some time in your message. Thank you :) CURRENT MISSION Travel to off-beaten paths and experience the craziness of this world ABOUT ME Just moved to Amsterdam, NL as a part of a two year rotation with my company. While over here I want to travel as much as possible and meet people from all backgrounds. I live to laugh and have a great time! PHILOSOPHY Make great friends and be a better person because life is too short not to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am definitely willing to have anyone come stay at my place in Amsterdam if you are visiting. As you can imagine, there is so much to do, I live right in the middle of it all, and I'd be happy to show you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Love to host, and love to surf - Amen.

Interests

I love all sports and anything that will give me a thrill. Always looking for my next crazy excursion as I am very adventurous - but at the end of the day, always happy when I'm hanging out with my friends at a local bar and watching sports. Most people wouldn't guess but I've been playing cello for my entire life and have also picked up guitar and singing, I guess you could say I have a soft spot for music. While traveling, I am really interested in making new friends and hopefully going to some cool local hot spots and seeing some live music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Perfection is John Mayer, Jack Johnson, or Ben Folds - however I'll settle with just about anything (R&B, jazz, pop, rap etc) except for heavy metal. For some reason guys headbanging their long hair just isn't appealing hahah. My favorite movies mostly consist of comedy movies including Wedding Crashers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Happy Gilmore. Wish I had more time to read...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Oct 2017, I attended a concert of one of my favorite artists, Ben Folds. The second half of his concert was audience requests via paper airplane. My airplane asked if I could play cello with him - which just in case he might’ve picked my airplane I had my cello in my car!! The stars aligned and he picked up my airplane and he let me play cello with him for Fred Jones Pt. 2 in front of 2000+ people. Easily best moment of my life thus far. Included on my bucket list is to go skydiving, pet a lion, shake a presidents hand, and make the worlds best beef jerky!

Teach, Learn, Share

While I am pretty good with taxes, I definitely am willing to cook a little as well as entertain you with some interesting life stories including my experience with American Idol and living amongst the Amish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Definitely a good laugh after I've made some home cooked food! I haven't mastered Dutch cooking yet, but is that even a thing?!
