I might be 29 but I’m still a kid at heart! 😄 I’m always looking to break out of the comfort zone, try new things, and have some memorable life experiences.

In April 2016, I had the honor to participate in Red Bull's Can You Make It? Contest, where 2 friends and I were one of 150 teams to travel all the way across Europe in 7 days without using any money or cell phones. In that time, we had the most amazing experiences with strangers who showed us kindness in so many different ways. They offered up their homes, cooked us food, bought us train tickets, and much more. Since then, I've always enjoyed creating memories with strangers (much to my mom's dismay), and showing others the same kindness that was shown to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've come to recognize that Couchsurfing is such a
more rewarding and valuable experience than staying in a hotel, because you meet amazing people, share stories, and get recommendations that otherwise would never happen!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. I actually write music and play in an alternative rock band called Walden. We’ve had the honor to play at Bonnaroo, Summerfest, and many other big US music festivals. Some of my favorite bands and biggest influences include Coldplay, Bon Iver, M83, Radiohead, Of Monsters & Men, Tame Impala, Mumford & Sons, Young the Giant, Fleet Foxes, Volcano Choir, The Avett Brothers, Ludovico Einaudi, Snarky Puppy, and more…
