About Me

Hi there, I recently graduated from college and have been working for the past year to build up some savings to go travelling. I'm pretty outgoing and enjoy trading stories, playing sports, and seeing new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would rather stay with someone and get a local perspective than go to a hotel get the tourist treatment.

Interests

Hiking trips
Soccer (football to everyone else), I like to play or watch a match
I like to play music and have been learning guitar for the past few years
Food is one of the main reasons to travel if you ask me

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a little bit of everything, from country to classical to rock to indie.
I love to read, most recently I finished 'A tale of two cities, A prayer for Owen Meany, and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel.' All three were very good and I highly recommend them.
I'm a fan of supernatural thrillers and comedies. I'm not too picky about who's in the movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was younger I sailed down the West coast of North America from Vancouver to mexico for 8 months with my parents and siblings. It's still one of the best experiences of my life.
