I'm very outgoing, extroverted, and friendly. I love meeting and talking to new people, and I usually make new friends pretty easily.

I love writing (short stories, poems, but also any type of expression through text), I play the guitar, the harmonica, I sing, I sketch, I love photography and architecture. I'm into wines, spirits, and coffee.

I recently moved to Boston, it's a really cool city, and I'm making new discoveries every day! Great food, great bars, and lots of history and culture (Esp. American history!). I'm happy to take people out whenever I have the time, and explore new places together.

I really love traveling, and going to new places, and I'm currently on a mission to go on short trips to many of the bigger cities in the states. I've always believed that wherever there are young people, you'll also find a great bar scene, music scene, art scene, and food scene (that a thing?).

I enjoy intelligent, funny people. I love being funny, snarky and sarcastic, I love people who are smarter, funnier, and snarkier than me.

I've travelled in my life, and would be happy to help people get to know my neck of the woods in the way only a fellow traveler could- a true, local representation of the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's one of the only true ways to get to know a place

Interests

Traveling, adventures and new experiences, cultures, languages and people, music and art, anything outdoorsy, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Blues, Folk, Rock, Oldies, and everything in between. Anything that's written with intent and intelligence, I'd probably find appealing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I was taught how to cut up a coconut by villagers in Laos, taught how to harvest wheat by a farmer in Thailand, taught how to weave a silk scarf by a buncha old ladies (they loved me) in Vietnam.

Once, I was invited to a wedding in Vietnam by the guy who ran my hostel. Got to stay at his uncle's place, on a hard concrete floor. Met every member of the family, and, as custom dictated, had a shot of moonshine with every man that came to greet me. By the time we were done, the concrete floor wasn't a huge deal anymore.

Once, I got in this random line at the gaming expo in Tokyo, and came out the other side (after a short briefing in Japanese, of which I understood nothing) with 16 other people, onto a stage, with a crowd cheering. We all played the newest Star Wars game, while huge screens behind us broadcasted what we were doing. *AND* I took down an AT-AT on Hoth (Don't.. Ask..).

Once I accidently went to a nudist beach with a few good friends down in Austin. :x

Once, I went up to a temple up on a mountain in Thailand. Away from the tourists visiting the temple grounds, me and a bunch of other people stayed with the monks on the side of the mountain, where they taught us how to meditate, and fed us the *absolute best* vegetarian food I've ever had.

Once, I swam with glow in the dark plankton on an Island south of Cambodia. In the dark hours of night, we saw the tiny glowy creatures light up like fairy dust around our hands, feet, and bodies, as we thrashed around trying to get them to light up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to play harmonica or guitar. How to make a mean spiked southern sweet tea.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always glad to help with anything. Plus I'm super fun to hang out with, and I love sharing stories and knowledge. I'm also reaaaaaally low maintenance, I travel really light, and it's really important to me to leave no footprint- I clean after myself, I keep my stuff organized, and I will make sure to give my host space, and assume nothing about their hospitality.
