I am insatiably curious about people and places. I am a natural explorer and I love to learn from others. I am currently making a move to Colorado to explore and ultimately hoping to call the Centennial state my home. I recently returned from teaching English in South Korea where I was happy to be working with little humans again. Ultimately I want to travel to places I have never heard of, eat food I can't pronounce, share copious amounts of food with strangers, and belly laugh a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people around the world who perhaps want share their knowledge, travel experiences or aspirations, adventure mishaps, or tell me their entire life story, depending on how much time we have.

Interests

I'm a fairly active, sprightly person and I love to play outside. I will also generally attempt to play any sport imaginable. I also love to dance. Lastly, I thoroughly enjoying eating food that makes me sweat.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like it all with only a few exceptions. I will always enjoy Funk, Soul, Flamenco, Reggae, and some Folk and 90's Hip-hop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Songkran, Thailand's New Year celebration, was in full swing and I ended up driving a tuk tuk from central Chiang Mai to my guesthouse as the driver was unable to drive. He had been celebrating all day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share recommendations for exploring some parts of Korea, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. I would like to learn more about travel throughout Europe, South America, and China. Any suggestions and month-long itineraries would be most helpful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy helping out in the kitchen, sharing food, wine, beer, dessert, doing the dishes, walking the dog...I could share some of my travel highlights, itineraries, and earthquake stories.

Lastly, growing up in Minnesota, USA (about 20 mins from Canada) I definitely have ice fishing stories as well as general quirky Northern Minnesotan times I'd be happy to tell.
