I'm a bit of a loner and introvert, but can enjoy a good mingle and conversation when the mood strikes.

Currently embracing simplicity and minimalism while living, working and traveling in my Honda Element.

Some other random snippets about me: Fairly Type A. Pretty dorky. I love dogs, chocolate, and going to bed early. I'm much more into low key small gatherings than big groups or crowds. I enjoy traveling solo but also appreciate the connections and local insight that Couchsurfing offers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the backpacking and traveling I've done so far, Couchsurfing and the amazing hosts were by far the best part of any destination I visited. While my Couchsurfing days fizzled out after college I'd like to ease back into the lifestyle to hopefully meet some more amazing people as I travel!

Interests

Lately my ideal day is starting with a long secluded hike up a mountain and ending with a glass of wine and Netflix.
