I'm originally from Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Then, I moved to Minnesota, USA for university. I graduated with a degree in sociology/anthropology. So, if you ever want to nerd out about social theory, hit me up. Then I spent a winter in Colorado, USA teaching adaptive skiing before moving out here to Vermont where I work for a non-profit dealing mostly with youth programming. That's basically my life's trajectory so far. I like to read, listen to music, and travel. My favorite place I have been so far was Chiapas, Mexico; although Peru had the best food. I don't know what else to say - I don't really like talking about myself. It makes interviewing particularly difficult. I guess...Settlers of Catan is my favorite board game? I'm a Virgo. My favorite color is blue. When I was little I wanted to be a triceratops when I grew up. I'm still waiting for that dream to become reality. If you decide to come visit, bring snacks? That's pretty much it.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I just like meeting new people, and I know traveling can be really expensive. So, It's really a win-win.
Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite book is Catch-22, and my favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut. I LOVE music and going to live shows. If you swing by, feel free to play some records on my record player. I have pretty eclectic taste - it ranges from soul, to indie rock, to punk, to afrobeat, to hip-hop. I'm pretty across the board in that regard. Except country - I've never really been able to get into it, but I respect the songwriting for sure. Oh! I absolutely love food! It's my favorite thing, and I don't really have any favorite cuisine. If it tastes good, I'll like it no matter what.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I gave one of my university's commencement speeches. It was terrifying.
