Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had several memorable experiences with couch surfing while wandering around the USA last summer on an extended roadtrip, and connecting with people who were so open and willing to share their lives with complete strangers was very inspiring and humbling to me. Those experiences informed my value structure as a person, and I am now always looking for authenticity over comfort.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy classic rock, reggae, 90s alternative rock, and some hip hop. Good Will Hunting and American Beauty are my two favorite movies, and the Lord of the Rings series (books and movies) defined my entire childhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In high school I organized a 34 hour long marathon wiffle ball game to raise money for ALS research.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked in a combination of organic health food stores and restaurants/cafes for a good portion of my life, so I have learned a lot about diet trends, the impact of certain foods on your life and the world, and how to generally improve your health with food. I’m always looking to learn about other’s lives and the experience they’ve had and share my own experiences with anyone who is interested! That’s how we learn and get better together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my presence, experiences, and insights about this crazy planet we all call home.
