I'm a fun-loving person who loves to share life with people. I completed my undergrad in 2014, and have pretty much been travelling ever since. Most recently, I've been living and working with a community in the US providing hospitality to recently arrived refugees, and before that I worked in Scotland at an off-grid outdoor activity centre for youth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, see new things, and meet new people. Life isn't meant to be lived alone, but in community with each other. I try to live my life in a way that focuses on the community around me, but sometimes I wind up on my own. If I'm travelling by myself, I want to create at least a small sense of this community with the people around me, even if that means meeting just one person from the area for one night.

Interests

I like walking. On foot you see and experience things you never would if you're travelling any other way. I like both exploring new places I haven't seen before, as well as walking through familiar territory. You never know what you'll see when you look at it through new eyes while on foot.

I also like singing and making music. Any style, (almost) any instrument. If you play music, let's jam!

• chickens
• singing
• beer
• walking
• traveling
• music
• cycling
• bungee jumping
