I´m an adventurer at heart. I seek out those who are driven by ambitious ideas and experiences. I'm easily excitable and love talking about epic experiences, life lessons, and journeys. I might generally be described as outgoing, friendly, and curious but I have my quiet introspective days too. I enjoy meeting new vibrant people with unique stories and histories.

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day with passion. Don´t get hung up on the little inconveniences and remember the grand scheme for living well. Smile and laugh often. Foster a healthy mind and body and stay open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best experiences traveling have come from the amazing people along the way. Couchsurfing is a great tool for meeting and sharing experiences with those people.

Interests

I love spending time in the outdoors. Anything that challenges my mind and body in a unique way. When I see someone doing something cool outside (kite surfing, base jumping, surfing, etc.) I instantly want to be part of it. I get really excited about food, cooking, and gardening. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than gathering together a group of diverse people for a fully engaged delicious meal. I like being ambitious in the kitchen and trying recipes that are beyond what I actually know how to do. I also really enjoy traveling by bicycle. It's my favorite way to experience a new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing a 10 week cross country bike ride across the U.S. with 32 of my newest closest friends. Sprinting into the ocean at Cannon Beach, OR and feeling completely overwhelmed by what we had all accomplished together was intensely powerful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching/playing tennis. If you want a lesson let me know. I'm passionate about food and happy to prepare a delicious meal for a gracious host.
