Hello there! I recently quit college, cut off all my hair, and moved out on my own for a travel adventure. I'm looking to explore the U.S. (Later the entire world) and find my niche. I love figuring out how things work, and making things. I'm always picking apart ideas and concepts for fun. There's nothing I love more than having a good laugh with great people and experiencing other cultures. It's fascinating how different people's perspectives and stories can be, and yet how similar we all are at the core. My goal is to live an authentic life- being my real self, having real experiences, eating real food, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is really one of the most rewarding things in life, and it's made even better by meeting local people. You get to experience the culture in a much deeper way. I think couch surfing will be a great opportunity to experience other cultures and share some of mine, too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did surgery! I was part of a training program for medical residents wanting to volunteer in disaster relief, so on one of the field days they let me suture up one of the minor wounds.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you can teach me welding that would be spectacular! But really I just want to hear your story and perspective about the world, and see around your city. I would love to give you some of my top-secret super easy recipes, or share any of my obscure bits of knowledge with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and bake, and would be more than happy to make meals for us to share during my stay. Goofy singing, jokes, deep discussions about everyday stuff. I'm pretty damn easygoing and excited to try new things.
