I love to get out and get new experiences, and I forward this idea by meeting as many people and seeing as many things as possible. Every minute, for me, is an opportunity to learn something new, to absorb the wonderful environment in which we live. For my entire life, I've been an artist. I play music, write poetry, and I study the art of body movement, implementing my knowledge of the Alexander Technique. I also enjoy, biking, skiing, ice-skating, and pretty much anything that gets me outside!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first time couch surfing was wonderful. I met the greatest people, and I got to see some amazing things in Cleveland, OH. Since then, I've noted the value of this website and how it can help travelers and hosts alike in their quest to enrich the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked Untersberg by myself in Salzburg, Austria during my abroad trip. Definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you like conversation, I enjoy talking about everything from philosophy to today's weather.

I also bring an aeropress coffee maker wherever I go. It makes the best coffee I've ever had.
And I know how to make great cookies from scratch.

I enjoy exercising, and I've traveled a lot, so I can share those experiences. And I am always very interested in the people I visit.
