I grew up in San Diego and then moved to Grand Rapids, MI to attend Calvin College where I am studying Engineering and playing rugby. I love to meet new people, talk and find things that we have in common. I am constantly looking for adventure and spontaneous trips are kind of my thing.

Something unique about me is that I spent 4 years working at a private zoo as an animal handler and educator. I love sharing crazy stories from this experience that you thought only happened in movies!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to see as much of the world as I can, and with couch surfing I get to connect with people I would not otherwise meet. I also learn the best things to do at a city because a local always knows best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent most of my time in high school (when I wasn't at football or rugby practice) rebuilding my first car which is a 1963 Volkswagen Bug.

I also got the opportunity to ride an elephant around and through one of the wonders of the world, The Angkor Wat Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
