Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to have authentic and local experiences and make great friends along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of history, a bit of classic literature, and just a smidge of travel guides. I feel like movies are much better when they have fewer computer graphics. I watch a lot of HBO, so lately I watch Westworld, Veep, and Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can think of several off the top of my head that I at least thought were amazing. I hiked a gorgeous mountain in Norway, ate a piece of Greenland shark in Iceland, ziplined off the Great Wall of China, and sailed a boat over forty-foot waves near Bora Bora.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk movies, American constitutional law, and the art of good conversation!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good guest that treats a person's home like it's my own. Happy to pay for groceries to help make a nice home cooked meal, or for drinks at the local favorite pub. I really like connecting with people, learning about their passions, and having great conversations.
