CURRENT MISSION

I quit my perfectly vanila, normal job to travel for 5 months before I turn 30.

ABOUT ME

I'd like to start surfing and break out of the hostel circuit. I've heard great things about this community and I'm excited to join. I like helping people, keeping an open mind, listening, building new friendships and continuing personal growth. So many wonderful people are out here creating and telling their own stories and I'd like to swap a page or two with all of you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will start hosting as much as I can when I'm back from traveling end of June.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No real experience here, but similar experiences I think with Airbnb and home stays. I've met surfers before, have friends that still do and I'm excited to join in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've recently read Vagabonding, Siddhartha and currently reading Sapiens. A lot of my favorites are scifi heavy hitters like Dune, Enders Game, The Magician, Name of the Wind.

I have a broad musical taste and like sharing both books and bands. I haven't watched a lot of movies recently but who doesn't love Mean Girls. Instant classic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise on the St. Charles Bridge, and set on the Eiffel Tower.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing experiences, a different perspective, some handyman services (especially structural/water issues), taking the trash out, mowing the lawn, painting (not the artistic kind though), a running/workout buddy, backup vocals, I can cook above average meals most of the time.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Viet Nam
