CURRENT MISSION

Creating a framework of experiences, emotions, and memories

ABOUT ME

I feel like I'm never good at writing this kind of thing, but here we go... :)

I like wandering through city streets and exploring neighborhoods by bicycle. Although the unknown can be terrifying, it is one of my favorite things. I like flea markets and pop up shops. I like loud music and late night drives but also quiet nights in with movies and wine. I like people who are passionate, unafraid to be themselves, and real.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the current time, I am looking to surf couches and make new friends and memories in the process.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've couchsurfed quite a bit and I've love it -- my favorite memories often involve the people I meet through couch surfing. There is no better way to see a city and meet wonderful, authentic people at the same time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak fluent English and I am always willing to help anyone practice :) I am a baker and I love making cookies, brownies, and cakes. If you have an oven, I'd be happy to make you something.

I would love to learn more about photography and I am always open to learning new languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Aside from some good conversation, I can bake you a dessert or help you prepare dinner. I can clean up the dishes after we eat and I'm always willing to run out and grab a bottle of wine :) I am also great a directions and I will be your navigator if you would like to take me somewhere (road trips are one of my favorite things).
