I'm currently living in Montevideo, Uruguay for the year working as an English teacher. I'm a passionate reader, writer, traveler, and I love good food, wine, and conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know a place with the help of locals because it reveals so much more than a typical tourist trip. I'm excited to meet new people and, of course, travel on a budget.

Music, Movies, and Books

A few of my favorite movies are "Girl, Interrupted" and "Dead Poets Society." As for books, I usually find myself obsessed with whatever the last thing I read was. I'm into Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, love David Sedaris, love poetry of all kinds. My music is a huge, weird melting pot, but here are some of the things I listen to: Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Janis Joplin, Dessa, Sylvan Esso, Dan Wilson, Bon Iver, the Decemberists, Gorillaz, Neil Young. Always looking for new books/music suggestions!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I led a 10 day canoe trip on a river in Wisconsin. It was probably the happiest and simplest 10 days of my life, I can't wait to get back on the river.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation and a willingness to listen & learn.
