CURRENT MISSION Back living where I’m from, good ol Dubuque Iowa! Just opened a business and loving having more freedom to do things I want to do! I thought when I opened my business I was going to have less time for traveling but I’ve been able to actually travel a little bit more than before. My current mission is still the same as the last one, enjoy my life and help others along the way :-) ABOUT ME I grew up in small town Iowa and moved to Florida when I was 20. Moved to Hawaii when I was 24 for 2 years before moving back to Florida. I missed Hawaii so much I ended up moving back after a year. 5 years later I headed to California and while it was a cool place with unlimited things to do, it was just too many people for me. A friend opened a gym up on Maui so I packed up for a THIRD time and moved to Hawaii. I quit my job in January and decided to travel in 2016. I went across the US hitting a few more states (44 done!) before booking a one way ticket to Sweden. From there I spent the next 8 weeks bouncing around Europe hitting 10 countries (Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Italy, and Croatia). Recently attended the 2017 Gymnastics World Championships held in Montreal. Went to Iceland June of 2018. Costa Rica in March of 2019. Live life you beautiful specimen. PHILOSOPHY "This is not your practice life." I am trying to be the best person I can be and help those along the way.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I've hosted, been hosted, attended meet ups and made the most amazing friends from this site 😃 COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Nothing but awesome experiences!!
Music, Movies, and Books
I have a huge variety of music that I love sharing. From pop music to classic rock. Rap to Armenian tangos. I love MOST music but really enjoy attending live music. Movies....love horror movies. I like adrenaline. Haha. But will watch anything. I love Leonardo DiCaprio. Books: Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Changed my whole outlook on life.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
One?!?! Maybe getting my Sak Yant tattoo in Thailand....no wait, canyoning in Slovenia...or sky diving in Hawaii...though doing a double layout is probably one of the coolest feelings.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you gymnastics...? lol, something I have done my whole life. I can also teach you that a living a simple life is amazing. Happiness comes from what you do and how you do it. I would like to learn more about cultures outside my realm which is why I want to start traveling more often. I also love cooking!
What I Can Share With Hosts
I love cooking and making people laugh.
My Interests
I love exploring this planet, learning about other cultures, and anything outdoors. I am fairly athletic, stay fit and eat healthy. I make nearly everything I eat but love trying new foods along the way.
