The Valley of the Sun is my home, but I spent some time living in Estonia from 2010-2011. I work as account manager for a CRM software company and could really go for some french fries right about now :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My travels now are more about spending time with my friends and family than crossing a destination off my bucket list. (Been lucky to do both simultaneously on a few occasions;). I can really have a great time wherever I am. I've made some dear friends online from around the globe, so my goal is to go give them a hug in-person.

Interests

One of my more curious hobbies is collecting mechanical keyboards. I own 10 as of now, but I've convinced a lot of my friends and co-workers to adopt them in the last couple years.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite music artists are Little Dragon, Empire of the Sun, Kimbra, Santigold, Dragonette, Kaytranada, Kateboy, 9Muses, Perfume and hundreds more from there.

For books, I'm a fan of anything written by Brandon Sanderson. He's a brilliant fantasy writer and I can't praise his work enough!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed 15km on an ice road by car to reach Kihnu island in Estonia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning about history, other languages and music.

Food is important to me, so sitting down to share a meal is one of my favorite ways to get to know and bond with other people. I also like sharing new music I come across or silly videos on YouTube.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise to show the utmost respect as a guest in your home and willing to lend a helping hand to maintain the space.
