Hey! I'm a 24 yr old adventurous spirit just looking to live my life doing what makes me happy. Ex- National Park Service employee and professional chef, currently a kayak guide, photographer, musician, aspiring surfer and skydiver. Right now, I'm making my way across the US to work on Lake Tahoe for the season before returning to the Caribbean for the winter. I love doing anything outside, but am content watching a good documentary on a lazy, rainy day. Travelling with my best friend, Riley, a 7 year old pointer/terrier mix mutt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because the traditional, " get a hotel room in the city, get dressed up and go out for fancy dinner" lifestyle isn't for me. I'd much rather meet like-minded people who are up for telling stories and sharing experiences. I'm just a broke kid with an endless smile on my face, trying to make my dreams come true.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This past summer, working as a kayak guide in the Caribbean, I had the opportunity to rescue an incredibly endangered, baby Hawksbill Sea Turtle. I found it struggling to free itself from the rocks that currently pinned it's fin, and the relentless breaking surf.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always inclined to learn from everyone I meet. It's natural, it just happens :) Sharing is caring, and if I can do it, I'd be more than happy to teach you how to too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and am always glad to entertain in the kitchen. I'm incredibly handy, and always more than willing to extend a helping hand. I'm always inclined to bring out the guitar and play for everyone. I've got a lot of great stories and an insatiable desire to create more memories.
