Born in Cuernavaca, Mexico but raised in Boise Idaho. After graduating from a local high school I spent a year studying abroad in Hatay Turkey with a rotary youth exchange program. Since this exchange experience I've made a point to make a trip somewhere new every year. I'm currently studying abroad in South Korea.

As a couch surfer I'm up for adventures and flexible to the schedules of my hosts. I enjoy animals (with a slight allergy to cats) and am very grateful for any guidance a local might provides or available space to sleep.

Interests

Learning what makes places geologically unique, and how this ties into the history of the area. I enjoy traveling, exploring new foods (especially street food), board games and hiking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Alaska to spectate the WEIO olympics. Saw native events, ate whale blubber, saw the blanket toss, and got to hear some neat stories from the elders.

Watching sports events or gymanastics also frequently leave me awestruck. I have the upmost respect for what the human body can do through training.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer:
Conversation in English, Spanish and Turkish.
Teach how to throw a frisbee or American football. Explain the sport of quidditch.
Share my growing understanding of earth processes

I'd like to learn:
Large interest in where you're local or have traveled to in the past. Where do you like to eat? Why did you end up there? Where do you recommend travelers go? What do you spend your time thinking about or doing?

I'd like to share:
Stories, meals and drinks.
