Currently a student of international education and Latin American studies in Nashville, TN. I spend most of my time reading and writing and talking to people. Originally from the Pacific North West. I like experiential education, community connections, cross-cultural encounters, friendship, bicycles, beer, and dogs. I am an even mix of enjoying independence and company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think new contact with other people is one of the best ways we can learn and develop into more insightful, compassionate people. It’s also fun. My hands are open to whatever might happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a bicycle from one coast of Honduras to the other.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new things. Not too picky. I can share conversations, especially vulnerable ones.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help with food or drinks. Projects you might be doing. Cooking, cleaning, chatting. I can make a tasty green curry and mix a good whiskey soda.
