I'm a very easy going Midwesterner turned Californian currently living in Amsterdam. I've made a point of focusing on experiences in life and I'm always looking to do more exploration.

I've got an intense passion for craft beer.

I've attended Oktoberfest 4 times.

If you're looking for a great craft beer in Amsterdam, here's my top 3 breweries 🍻🍻🍻

Walhalla | Oedipus | Two Chefs

I made this handy map of great beer places too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use couchsurfing to find new things to do and cool people to hang out with while traveling. I've had a great time meeting surfers in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Prague, Santiago, and Budapest. I'm thinking about starting to host some surfers once I settle in Amsterdam.

Interests

In my free time I like to explore festivals and live music, camp, hike, watch/play sports, ride my bike, build things, and drink beer.
