About Me

Life is funny, one day your going through the everyday motions and the next you just up and decide to travel the world. 🛫 I spent the year before last doing just that! Doing a full circle around the world and loved every second of it! Thanks to a string of incredible hosts my travels were not only possible but filled with colorful characters and unforgettable experiences.

Now I've set my sites on touring America. 🦅 By now I've seen more of the world than I have my own country, and I want to change that! I'm a social media strategist with a passion for making new friends, good conversation and craft beer! As a guest I'm a barrel of laughs and a wealth of knowledge. I clean up after myself and never treat the kindness I've been shown with anything other than respect.

I love this community, I really can't stress that enough. It feels so good to tell people they're wrong about human nature when they tell me they can't believe a site like this exists and that I've never had a bad experience. Well it does and I'm grateful. 🙌

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a passion for traveling and making friends. What better place is there than on here!?!??! ✌ If i had to say why I was traveling it would probably be because I can't sit still for very long in one place or another. Life is short and I've had a few brushes with death so why live out each day as though I have a infinite amount of them? 😁

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed a 1 year circle around the entire world and got a stamp tattoo of every country on my ass. Yes, you read that right, on my ass. I've got an assport. 🤣 Never take yourself too seriously! Life is short. ✌

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach anyone who wants to learn all about beer. How it's made, what styles there are, what good beer should taste like. I am a certified cicerone (Aka beer expert) and have worked in two microbreweries & five craft beer bars. I also used to be an exotic reptile breeder and can teach you all sorts of fun reptile trivia. ha ha

Learn: I would love to learn new languages, Local customs, and any and everything you might feel willing to teach me really. I'm on a quest to expand my mind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let's share stories over a beer or two. If you don't drink, all the better, more for me. I also don't mind lending a hand if you need a little help during my stay. I'm not looking for work but I try and help those who help me.
