I’d like to think I’m an adventurer and maybe even a travel addict. I was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Austin, Texas. I am currently in the midst of a year off from work and traveling around the world before beginning my grad program in mental health therapy. Love to meet new people, do active things and have meaningful and deep conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get around each country that I'm traveling through. Also, to meet extraordinary people and really dive into the culture of each country I'm visiting.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking, ultimate frisbee, camping, cooking (even though I’m not the greatest cook), adventuring, and of course playing board games.

Music, Movies, and Books

A fan of most types of music, but very fond of indie folk and indie rock. As for movies I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but everything else is quite alright.

Teach, Learn, Share

Absolutely love teaching children how to play frisbee and how to play respectfully with one another. Learning spanish and would be up for language exchange. Alguien ha intercambiador de idiomas? Can share endless amounts of travel stories, tips on places to visit, and all the knowledge I have gained from other travelers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an able bodied guest who is willing to help out around the house or community where I stay. Happy to share stories about life, travel, my home culture, and basically anything else.
