CURRENT MISSION

Learn something new, eat something new, read something new, meet someone new.

ABOUT ME

Hello, surfers! I'm a bread baker and recovering graduate from Wisconsin. I studied local Spanish food systems (jamón ibérico), and now I'm participating in one as a bread baker.

I love to travel, meet new people, and have an adventure. For me that almost always involves delicious food. New foods, favorite foods, all kinds of food.

When I'm not working, I love riding my bike and finding ways to be outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When traveling I'm reaching out for hospitality, but when I'm home in Madison I return the favor by meeting up with wandering surfers. (Right now I'm not in a position to host.)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My surfing experience has mostly been in Spain. I've met some truly wonderful new friends, and I can't think of taking a trip now without at least a little surfing.
