I make maps for a living! I love travelling and learning about other cultures. I enjoy SNL-inspired comedies and getting drinks with friends. I hope to visit as many places as possible while I still have the freedom and mobility to do so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really would like to meet and talk with locals of the places I visit, because no one knows their city/state/country better than them. I would also love to get advice on where to go and what to see in order to gain a better understanding of a place's culture rather than just being another tourist taking up space.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once won a pizza-eating contest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about the places I visit. I usually am chock-full of random information which can be useful for pub trivia! I also can crochet a beanie (but that's about it).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am friendly, cleanly, and can hold a conversation. I also would definitely take my host out for dinner or drinks at least once during my stay.
