Hi! I quit my job in September 2023 and have been on the move since. My travels are a mix of Couchsurfing, WorkAway, and hostel stays, getting to know places from more than just a tourist point of view. So far I've visited California, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana, and now Alaska. My first WorkAway host described me as "warm," and I love to socialize and initiate gatherings, but I am also independent and appreciate quiet chill time. Looking forward to meeting you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part of traveling is hanging with locals and learning about their world. I love taking recommendations, meeting new people, and discovering niches and hobbies I didn't know existed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched a banana slug eat a mushroom

Teach, Learn, Share

My pandemic hobby was cooking organ meats (heart, liver, kidney) and other gnarly, often forgotten animal bits, so if you wanna practice nose-to-tail eating I'd love to share! And I just started learning guitar with hopes of becoming a bluegrass picker. I'd love to learn more from an experienced player! Also down to chat anything music related, travel tips, and reading recommendations. Or if you're into spirituality and/or self-improvement we can share learnings and perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can chat about books and music for hours, am happy to help in the kitchen and with chores, and am a certified good-time at live music events (aka first on the dance floor). I also have a well of recommendations and connections in Oregon if hosts ever plan to travel that way.
