CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I tend to be a pretty upbeat person, I love to laugh, meet new people, experience new things.

PHILOSOPHY

It usually comes back to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Two summers ago, I backpacked Europe for a month and couch surfed in four different countries. Since I've been home I've hosted several folks (schedule allowing) and it's always been a positive experience. It's a great feeling to show people around my hometown.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Berlin playgrounds, Stockholm rooftops, experimental jazz in Dresden, fires in Kaufbeuren, finding probably the one other American renting a car to go to the West Fjords in Iceland... none of these things would have happened without couch surfing, and they are definitely some of the fondest memories of my travels!

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, electronic, punk, ska, stoner metal, folk, afrobeat, bluegrass, goa, lots of music. But I'm too selective to just say "anything".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't put my finger on just one, but hiking a glacier in Iceland was pretty cool. Hitch hiking from Ozora, Hungary to Munich, Germany was wild.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to laugh in any situation. I'll show you how to use a camera! I know a lot of the nature escapes in Richmond, so hiking is always fun. Rambling on about pug dogs is a specialty of mine. I can also show you to how to drink whiskey. I also can double as a vegetarian/vegan chef.
