Hi! I am a 25 year old writer & aspiring dog trainer who loves to travel, explore and see the great outdoors. I am also an animal rescuer and advocate. I've worked with countless animals, from volunteering as a wildlife rehabilitator to having a sleepover with seven baby goats to fostering adorable litters of kittens. I consider myself to be an animal advocate and environmentalist and strive to do something every day to change the world for the better.

I am very much interested in hearing what others have to say. I am open minded to having all kinds of conversations, pondering the meaning of life, listening to others' thoughts and ideas about the world. I love crazy travel stories!

I would love to travel the world and I would be happy to go on a trip to just about anywhere. I love meeting and interacting with new people, exploring different cultures and lifestyles, and just hanging out with new friends! Don't expect to have to accommodate me as I am used to backpacking, camping and "roughing it". I promise to be very easy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing to meet new people, see new places, and sometimes, just to find a place to lay my head. I am very easy to please and don't expect nice accommodations. If I am staying with you I am likely on a backpacking trip or a road trip!

Though I will usually not be available for hosting, I would love to occasionally welcome people into my home and help you explore and discover my home town.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you all kinds of wild stories about some ridiculous animal rescues and transports I've been on, & would love to hear about places you’ve been and want to go!

My girlfriend and I live together and we LOVE to cook big, complex, delicious meals. I love cooking for others & learning more about cooking!

If there is one major thing I can share with others it's kindness! I firmly believe in embracing all sorts of people and understand compassion and empathy to be the most important aspects of humanity. No matter who you are I promise to treat you with kindness and respect!
