I've lived in 5 countries and have traveled to 48 (and counting). I love being outside, enjoying beers, reading, running, and meeting new people.

I moved to DC about 2.5 years ago, and have been working in the federal government. My normal weekdays after work include happy hour, while weekends are spent at brunch, running along the monuments on the National Mall, hiking, finding a brewery or a winery and hanging out with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be able to explore more places, with the help from locals.

Interests

I'm really into running and photography, so finding a running route in a new city is always fantastic. I'm a big history buff so I'll always find museums or old parts of a city that I can learn more about.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any book involving politics and history, preferably nonfiction. Otherwise I've been majorly into anything by Liane Moriarty.

Movies will always involved action/adventure. A good cry during a rom-com though is not unusual for me. And give me a good documentary any day.

My music will always involve rock and indie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Kilimanjaro and Everest, burned calories while taking some amazing pictures
