Hey!

Because I played basketball throughout my entire life and in college, I didn't leave the US until my junior year in college. After graduation, I hoped on a plane and moved to Ireland. I have lived in Dublin for 2 years and now work remotely as a consultant, which allows me to work and travel at the same time :)

I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures, sports, the outdoors, you name it! And I am always up for an adventure!

And of course taking pictures as I go!

At the moment, I don't have a home to accept guests to. Living the digital nomad life, and then headed to my parents. Hoping to convert them into hosts though in a few months!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have just recently joined the Couchsurfing community for one reason--I want to meet new people from the places that I am lucky enough to travel to!

I was hooked on AirBnb until I decided to take my work on the road and needed friends, locals, and just some human interaction to make the most of life. I had a few really positive experiences with Couchsurfing (sharing meals, going to family farms, harvesting grapes on a vineyard in Switzerland) that I would have NEVER had the opportunity staying in hotels, hostels, etc. Plus I love the excitement of meeting new people and staying up late talking about the beautiful world we live in.

And of course when I settle down (unlikely!) I will gladly begin hosting guests in exchange for all that I have received!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read just about any and everything. Just recently ticked the Alchemist off my list (long overdue) and have transitioned into Don't Lets Go to the Dogs. If I find a book with an enticing title, I will read it!

Same goes for movies, unless I am with someone else I normally don't spend too much time in front of screens after logging out of work. Time to get outside and explore! But am happy to snuggle up and watch a movie as well :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept under the stars in the Sahara Desert

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a scientist at heart, so I ask questions, and lots of them. Constantly questioning the world around me and how it works, how it came to be, why why why!!

Happy to make dinner, share stories, play sports, and learn just about anything you have to offer!
