About Me

I'm an active person who loves moving and exploring. I enjoy learning and trying new things, whether it be food or experiences. I love being forced out of my comfort zone.

I also enjoying meeting new people in small settings and especially in cities I'm interested in getting to know.

I am an easy-going person and will go with the flow if there's a plan or will proactively make one. I also have a sarcastic sense of humor that comes out the more you get to know me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing was highly recommended to me by a good friend who has traveled extensively and has couchsurfed multiple times.

I think the best way to experience a city is through locals and through going to parts of the cities that tourists wouldn't normally trek to.

Interests

Volleyball, running, eating, tennis, cats & dogs, yoga, enriching my life.

I love architecture, particularly Victorian and Gothic. While not religious in the least, old cathedrals absolutely awe me.

I have played the flute for 7 years and the saxophone a bit less than 7.
