Quit my desk job spring of 2015 and have been traveling and volunteering around the world ever since (while working part time as a digital marketer)

I spent almost 2 years traveling and volunteering in South America from April 2016-Jan 2018 (with a couple months in the States last fall).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet locals wherever I go. I think it is the best way to really get to know a culture/country and its people/language! I'd like to meet you, fellow travelers, too.

Interests

I love nature and different cultures/languages. I enjoy diving, hiking/trekking, art, food/local cuisine, craft beers (IPAs), wine (Malbec!), live music, etc.
