About Me

CURRENT MISSION

never stop seeing new places, even when i stop seeing new places

ABOUT ME

I am adventurous but like to work for the thrills. I like to do things like hiking, backpacking, backcountry snowboarding, etc that, once you are doing them, are some of the most fulfilling activities, but require someone to go through hell and back to reach that epic pinnacle moment.

PHILOSOPHY

what makes something worth it, is the stories we tell afterwards

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This jaunt through western europe has been my first experience with couch surfing, but i am excited to begin hosting upon my return to the states.

Interests

I study Marine Biology back in the states, so just the ocean and the animals, plants etc. therein are constantly baffling and amazing me. As far as everyday life, I love to play music and spend time outdoors, whether it be hiking, snowboarding, or just find some grass on which to sprawl with a good book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most awestruck moments I have ever had was standing at Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, Utah and simultaneously being able to look down two different canyons for miles. Absolutely breathtaking. As far as being a biology nerd, being able to see a Galapagos Marine Iguana feeding underwater, as sea lions lazed around it was a privilege that I still cannot fully process.
