CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm a down-to-earth, easy to get along with transplant in LA by way of Seattle & Austin, Texas. I love the outdoors: hiking, biking, walking, rafting, kayaking, camping, swimming, skiing... I'd love to see as many corners of the globe as I can, and experience them in a variety of different ways, which is why I'm here! I'm new to this and seeing what it's all about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new friends around the globe! I used to do it via Airbnb, met great people, and now that I no longer own my home I miss that random connection.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie rock, some alternative, singer/songwriters and pretty much anybody who knows how to craft a song and play an instrument and sing about life.
Heartfelt movies, whether serious or funny (usually some laughter involved)
Mostly I read politics, world news, and the like these days, as well as some history. Always reading self-help/actualization/life management!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving - swimming with dolphins - taken a helicopter tour around Maui. But not all on the same day.
Update: swam in waterfalls in the Outback.
