Originally from the US, I now can usually be found galavanting in various locations, walking a lot, dancing even more, often accompanied by my partner, Maximilian.

I'm great at headstands, biting off more than I can chew, and holding the door open for you while you're still too far away. I have big, big dreams and the biggest one is to spend one million hours lying around in the sun readin' stuff. Ancillary dreams include eating as much ramen as I can and personally whispering to every human on the planet that they really can do whatever they want.

I am absolutely thrilled to be in this world at such a bizarre and magical time, and I think that convincing everyone she's gravely disappointed in us is one of the most hilarious jokes God has ever played.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no better way to learn about a place than to learn about its native flora and fauna, and that includes the humans that grow + thrive there. Every magical experience in my life has started with a magical person who led me there, in some way or another, and I am of course hungry for more magical experiences.

I run a housesitting / petsitting business with my partner Max, and often housesit internationally for months at a time. Before, and after, and in between, I/we would love to meet people who love this silly little planet as much as I do.
