About Me

Seeing the world, meeting new people, eating delicious food, and marveling at the Earth's natural beauty is my lifeblood. I want to see what I can see, meet who I can meet, and give what I can give during my time on this planet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of group living and traveling. I live in a housing co-op and this is a value I live by. I believe cultural exchange is an essential part of traveling. I'm new to Couchsurfing and I'm excited to try it out and meet new people

Music, Movies, and Books

My new favorite movie right now (my favorites tend to change a lot) is Baraka. I love independent movies and documentaries. Of course, a good Netflix or HBO series floats my boat too

Favorite book: All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

Music: Texas country-folk music is in my blood; Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt are some of my favorites. I really enjoy folk music from all over the world: Andean folklorico grew a special place in my heart when I lived in Bolivia and has stayed ever since. I enjoy hearing the local music wherever I'm traveling. If I can dance to it, I'll like it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I live in a cooperative house with 17 other people... so that's a pretty amazing feat in itself. Its a crazy, beautiful experience that I wouldn't change for the world!
