About Me

Welcome!

I work seasonally as a wildland firefighter and enjoy travel during my winter. Food and adventure are my love language. Cats, reading, and being cozy make for a great evening.

My coolest trips have been trekking the Himalayas, surfing the beaches of India, or road tripping around the PNW. I'm always looking for my next adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are great, but sometimes I want a more culturally meaningful experience.

In the United States I went to a Couchsurfing event in Charleston, SC with two other members of CS from my area. It was a beach crash with members from a ton of different cities. I met people from Charleston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Greenville, Asheville, and even some international members from Germany and Belgium. I met the most inspiring people. Most of them were older than me with established careers and they still managed to travel to amazing places! It was an inspiring experience that I would love to relive across the world.
