I'm a very energetic person. I love people, music, art, drinking, and experiencing other cultures. I am very open-minded and non confrontational, so I can get along with most anybody! I am a first generation U.S. citizen. My family immigrated here some fifty years ago from Germany. I've lived all over the U.S., but I currently live in Springfield, Missouri. I work for an orthopedic hospital here and really enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to use CS to get the first-hand experience from a locals perspective. What better way to experience a new place, than to experience it with its people? I love getting to know new people and understanding how they see the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't read often, but when I do I like to read autobiographies. I love all music, well almost all music. I mainly listen to rock, but enjoy rap and the radio hits. As far as movies, I like anything nerdy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to travel to Alaska when I was younger. I spent over a week hiking and camping while I was there. I got to visit Denali National Park and see Mt. Denali on a super clear day. I got to climb a glacier, and meet new people. My favorite part was witnessing a mamma bear and her cub wrestle in the street just a few meters in front of me! This was a beautiful part of the country and I had a blast visiting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to teach anything to anyone who is willing to listen. I don't care much for small talk, but I love to talk about social and environmental issues.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An eagerness to see and experience new things, a sense of humor, and a whole lot of good vibes!
