Overview
About Me
I like to laugh, surf, and travel...typically in that order. I love meeting new people! I think couch surfing isn't just about finding a cheap place to stay, it's about connecting with people and making new friends.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was attracted to couch surfing because I like to meet new people. Who wants to stay in a hotel when you can make new friends. Life is about connection. The more you make the happier you'll be!
Interests
The world has so much to offer, you just have to give it a chance and put yourself out there. There's nothing I won't try at least once, and usually the more adrenaline is involved the better! Life is too short to play it safe!

Music, Movies, and Books
I like pretty much any kind of music, but my favorites are rock, country, and pop. I'm an avid reader, and I love books that spark my imagination. I'm also big into movies and tv shows - if it has action or is hilarious, I'm in. Oh...and Kevin Hart is probably one of the funniest people I've ever seen.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I've seen is the human capacity for kindness. When I was in Cambodia, locals would invite us into their homes and treat us like honored guests, even though they had very little. I've seen people who were starving take food and, instead of eating it all themselves, give half to a stranger next to them they'd never met. Ecuador, South Korea, Cambodia, Mexico...everywhere I go, it seems the less we have, the more of ourselves we're willing to give.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to teach and I love to learn even more. I have a passion for learning languages and sharing music. Teach me something new, and I'll be your friend for life :)
