I'm a college graduate with an MBA who likes to learn new things. In my free time I like to go out and sight see, meet new people, and spend time with some amazing friends. There are a lot of vineyards and breweries in my state so I like to go out in the spring and summer and enjoy a good wine or beer.

I also live in a city that's pretty close to everything- the beach, rapids for white river rafting, big cities to go dancing, mountains to go snowboarding, etc., so there's always something fresh to keep me entertained.

When I'm not moving about I enjoy a good jog with my 1 year old husky, practicing martial arts, tennis, table tennis, playing the piano, reading, and naps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to go on my next big trip (looking to visit Milan, Prague, Amsterdam, and Tokyo) and I'm looking to make new friends, embrace new cultures and different life styles, and broaden my horizon.

Interests

I'm pretty passionate about music. I've played the piano since I was a kid, listen to a very broad range of music from classical to rap. I have been on an EDM binge for a while now and I've gotten a chance to see some of the biggest DJ's perform.

I've made some amazing friends through Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and I absolutely love the sport. I'm relatively new at 9 months but it's been quite an adventure. During the summers I like to take my motorcycle out and try to ride it.

Food is also something I'm a big fan of and I'm not afraid of trying new food, as long as my host goes first hahaha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the 3rd grade I played Amazing grace on the piano at my state capitol building for a Christmas Choir performance and it was televised on ABC. I have also accidentally walked through a police stand off unscathed when I was 11.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can exchange stories, basic self defense skills, and music for laughs....and maybe a place to crash at.
