Originally from the Midwest and have a cute little daschund named Fernando. I work in motion graphics and love my job.

I've been told I'm very silly, loud and tall. I'm also quite empathetic and caring for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about new cultures, meeting new people, and learning in general. It seems the best way to really get to know a city and the culture, far better than a hostel or hotel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books I enjoy include The Glass Castle, Billy Collins poetry, and anything by David Sedaris.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Five marathons under my belt, hope to do more. I'm enjoying the idea of combining travel and marathons. So far I've done Chicago (x2), Berlin, London, & a Norwegian full marathons, many half marathons too.
