I'm an ever curious individual who craves learning, change, and challenges.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning about cultures and diving into the "life of a local". While I enjoy hearing stories from fellow travelers at hostels, it sometimes feels like living in a bubble. There is such a rich environment that is easy to miss in the convenience of shared background or language!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to a lot of music in different genres and languages. Couchsurfing has opened up many styles of music via other surfers, which has been great. My tastes are incredibly open, but I'm really enjoying classical, jazz, and some Latin pop right now. Enlighten me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the 'O' circuit in the Torres del Paine, Chile - met incredible people, saw beautiful sights, and challenged myself more than I have before. The following weeks in Puerto Natales, Santiago, and Valparaíso were incredible as well - and were my introduction to couchsurfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make some pretty good breakfasts and cocktails - sometimes at the same time. ;) I also love learning about where I'm staying, so enjoy conversations about local life, as well as the software industry, travel, and social and cultural topics.
