ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing American who loves to travel, make new friends, eat good food and drink good alcohol. I am very relaxed, honest and love keeping active!

PHILOSOPHY

Something we can discuss

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when I can, getting others to get involved in CS, meeting amazing people in my town, and everywhere else through CS!

Interests

I love adventures and life in general! I'm up for anything outside, sports, hiking, biking, etc, but also love reading, hanging out and just enjoying others.

I love the water: swimming, sailing, kayaking, or just hanging out on the water or beach. I'm so happy to be living on a lake!

Music, Movies, and Books

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain

I love Jack Kerouac and Bill Byrson :)
