Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the world and meet mew people along the way.
ABOUT ME
I love to travel and enjoy the outdoors. Running, hiking, camping, backpacking - nearly anything that gets me out in the fresh air. I love trying new restaurants and discovering new places.
I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Cameroon and was a WWOOF (Worldwide opportunities on organic farms) Volunteer in Ireland and Scotland. I work online now for a software company that based in Oregon, this allows me to travel the world, while working at the same time - so long as I can find a good Wi-Fi connection!
PHILOSOPHY
Being open to new opportunities, experiences, and ideas.
TRAVEL PLANS
I'm currently on an around the world trip: my stops along the way - Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Ireland, and now the The Netherlands. I'll be traveling to the East Coast of the USA during mid-September.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to stay with people as I travel around as I find it to make for a much richer experience. I like learning about the local culture and getting away from the typical tourist routes. I'm looking forward to the day when I have a true home base and can host surfers.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm pretty new to this. I typically stay in AirBnB, in hostels, or with friends. I'm looking forward to meeting new people via CouchSurfing. I've only CouchSurfed a few times, but it's been a very great experience so far. I'm happy to provide my Facebook profile and website since I don't have a ton of references yet :)
Interests
I love to cook and bake. I'm constantly discovering new ways to cook and prepare foods for family and friends. I love to practice yoga when I travel. Running and hiking keeps me feeling good!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music tastes range from LCD Soundsystem to the Beatles. Checking out new bands is one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday night.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived in Cameroon. It was an incredibly rich learning experience. I hope to travel to another African country in the future.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm happy to practice French with you! I lived in France for 6 months. I can also help with cooking if you'd like as well.
