I love love love to travel and connect with other people all over the world. I'm jus wrapping up being an Au Pair in France and I am traveling a bit more before I head home to the states. I love to read, write, run, walk, hike, bake and listen to and play music. I love to make people laugh as well. I'm always up for a conversation, long or short, because I have so much to learn from other people on this earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing so my travel experiences can be more personal. For me, the most special parts of traveling are the places you go to, but more importantly the people you connect with along the way. None of my travel experiences could be defined without talking about those that shaped it. I also think in today's world, connecting with humans is one of the most important, though underrated, things that we can do to remind ourselves that we are all connected.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, especially rock, old and new. Live music is my absolute favorite thing on the planet, be it in a bar or at a huge concert. Some of my favorite concerts have been Cage the Elephant, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and FIDLAR.

Most people make fun of me for the lack of important movies I have not seen. So feel free to join in on that. I do love movies, I am just not very cultured in that field.

I love all types of books from philosophy (especially Sartre, Nietzsche and the likes), to Harry Potter. I recently read two Hemingway books that blew my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ran a 50 mile race. That was a long day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk music, culture, politics, or just chat about personal stories. I enjoy getting your perspective on your country and culture as well as my country and culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my sense of humor, a good talk, I am happy to make meals, spend time with you or leave you to yourself.
