I am a self-published adult coloring book artist and a part-time restaurant manager. I am very easygoing and I love meeting new people. Some of the many passions in my life are cooking, art, music, and exploring the great outdoors! I have a very rambunctious pupper named Pancake who keeps me incessantly busy.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. Cherish all those around you. Love every moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's been a while since I've been active on CS, but I would like to participate by trying to help others out. Offering them my home, and at least cooking for them, if I have the time :). Now that I have experience couchsurfing myself, I constantly try to be the best host to my guests!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a member of CS for years now and I absolutely LOVE it! It is hands down the BEST way to meet new people. Hearing and sharing stories, going out for a beer, or exploring a city with someone new is about as good as it gets. I have yet to have a single hosting or surfing experience that was not positive. I am always looking forward to hosting more surfers! Many summers ago my roommate and I traveled and couchsurfed all throughout Germany and Austria and we had a wonderful time!! Can't wait to get back out there and travel again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most beautiful thing that I have ever experienced was a secluded waterfall off the beaten path in a small town on Maui. I have been there twice, and plan to visit it again in the future. It was unlike anything I have ever seen! We fished for crawdads down underneath the falls and used shampoo ginger to wash our hair and bodies. I first experienced this waterfall five years ago, and to this day I have yet to see anything as wonderful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Man o man.. I can teach someone how to do the basics of some crafty stuff like painting or drawing. I am always happy to cook with others. And if someone is really interested in the monotony of animation, well, I'd be thrilled to show them how it works!!
