I'm a pretty easy going person but definitely like to make the most of my opportunities. I'm not one to sit inside for the whole weekend, what a waste! Maybe just most of it, haha. I have an open and logical mind and like hanging out with other people who are also open and reflective about themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to meet people from all over and travel! I moved to the Netherlands in Oct 2015 so I am officially an alien! I have a couple roommates now so while I'm not going to host, I'd be down for meeting up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far CS has been great! I've stayed and hosted fun, crazy and kind people.

US Travel Experience: visited 43 states (86%)
World Travel Experience: visited 16 countries

Interests

I like to run, bike and work out; hopefully I'll get to at least one of those every day. I also love to go to bars, eat out occasionally and try new things.

I love listening to music and do it most of the time. I've also played the piano since I was 8 and even have an accordion...

My favorite sport is (American) football. Go Lions! I appreciate and occasionally watch others. I also love cricket ever since I was exposed to it in Australia haha.

Obviously, I also love travelling and meeting new people. Duh! CS! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Big Lebowski, all Pixar films, Harry Potter

TV: Simpsons, Merlin, Family Guy, Conan, Glee, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Archer...

Music: any upbeat and melodic songs. I listen to Top 40 hits usually but when playing the piano, I mostly plan 30's and 40's style classic jazzy songs and love it!

Books: what are those? Ha, I HAVE enjoyed: Ender's Game, LOTR, Harry Potter

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam from Texas to Mexico. And BACK!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach piano and/or accordion (not sure how well but it might just be fun playing).

I'd like to learn Dutch more since...I...kind of live in Dutchtopia. Also - to cook. Don't come to my place and expect good home cooked food, haha. Why the hell would you want to eat in anyway?!
