I speak/read/write English and French fluently so please feel free to message me in either!

Let's play cards! Let's have long chats! Let's share music with each other! Host me and I'll send you a postcard from somewhere else!!

Off I go, taking leap after leap into the unknown that is adventure.

I am so excited to get to know new people, cultures, and places. I can't wait to see it all!

I have tons of hobbies (cooking, writing, running, hiking, badminton, D&D and so much more) and love connected conversations that just flow on and on. I also enjoy quiet alone time reading/writing and don't feel uncomfortable with silence/hosts who would prefer to just rest and relax quietly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had some awesome experiences being hosted a few times while traveling and I love meeting people and feeling more connected to a place through meeting locals. Not to mention I love the ideals couchsurfing stands for and how it connects likeminded people

I don't live in a city or near any major attractions so I haven't gotten any requests from surfers to stay with me 😥 but maybe some day I'll have more luck!

More generally I am on couchsurfing to meet like-minded adventurers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle with my friend Jeremy from the Grand Tetons in Wyoming to Seattle, Washington during the summer of 2020. It's the best thing I've ever done, it felt so freeing and relaxing and it was so beautiful. I'm planning a similar excursion through the British Isles this year, solo (thus far).

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some French or English, perhaps some food skills, bicycle repair, SEO, NVC

I'd love to cook a meal for someone who hosts me, or share food in some way if cooking isn't an option!

I also love to chat, and garden, and generally be helpful!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, friendship, some food! Card games and thoughts into a variety of topics. I'm a good listener and good company. Books, conversations. I am afraid that I am bringing little more than myself and my memories with me on this adventure.

Although perhaps I can gather some provisions on my way to way so that we may feast!
