I'm an open book and considering myself to be outgoing and a bit silly! I try not to take life too seriously. I'm a programmer, photographer, and people person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because out of all the things in life I've had the pleasure of experiencing, this has by far had some of the best impacts. I've met so many cool people through this platform and had incredible adventures. It's hands-down one of the best ways to break down walls between people and be human to one another.

Interests

I work as a software engineer and I like to spend time away from my computer as much as possible. I really am a people person and I will find myself hanging with people all the time. I've been described as a golden retriever and kind of raging extrovert.

I'm a music person and love sharing music with others. If you have a favorite band or song you've been really enjoying, I'd love to hear about it.

Hobbies include: Photography, reading, video games, riding a bike, dancing, making cocktails, playing music, petting dogs, wandering aimlessly and finding new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ended up becoming a go-go dancing at a gay bar by winning a shower contest. It was an amazing summer. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking with others. I can't say I'm good at it, but it's the effort that makes it enjoyable. Worst case scenario we get take out ha.

Above all I really just like sharing life experiences. I love hearing stories so.
