About Me

I live in Prague working as a bicycle tour guide, showing guests around this gorgeous city! I was born and raised in Wisconsin until I moved and worked for almost 7 years in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. After that, I made the decision it was time to make the move I've always wanted and live in Europe. I came to Prague for a TELF course and stayed for the people and the culture. It's been a great adventure so far. I've been lucky enough to visit many incredible places and meet some amazing new people!

I'm an extremely social person and find that some of my best experiences from traveling have been made by and because of the people I've met. I'm always down to grab a drink and have some quality conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The Couchsurfing community in Prague is very active. I have some friends who are highly involved in organizing events for Couchsurfers and enjoy it a lot. Some of my close friends have used couchsurfing in other countries as solo travelers. They've made lifelong friends and have beautiful stories from the time they shared with others. I love connecting with people and being able to get a locals view and experiences of the city in which they live.

Interests

I'm a very active person, and I'm happiest when I'm outdoors. I like the occasional museum, more often times an art gallery. I enjoy classical music, ballets, rock concerts and bluegrass. My most recent hobby-purchase was a ukulele because I thought it'd be fun to learn. So far, I'm not wrong!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't choose just one. I have been so incredibly lucky to have scuba dived in some beautiful areas, visit countries with cultures vastly different than my own and witness natural occurrences I couldn't capture with my camera.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, enthusiasm and positivity. I also know my way around a kitchen!
