I love to meet new people and hear their stories. I'm an extrovert - I thrive in social settings. I'm a daydreamer and adventurist. I have an appreciation for the arts in all forms. Music is my therapy - I'm constantly playing something and I love to go to live shows and festivals. I love to write and read poetry and nonfiction. I love to learn about new cultures and try new foods & beers. My favorite setting is the outdoors - especially near water.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I crave to see more of the world but do not have the means for an expensive place to stay. In addition, as I stated, I enjoy meeting new people and believe the best way to fully submerge oneself in a different culture or city is to befriend a local, who can show you around and potentially become a lasting friend.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae, blues, and rap are my favorite genres, although I'll listen to pretty much everything except country. My current obsession is Tame Impala.
90% of what I read is nonfiction, but my classic go-to is Wuthering Heights. I don't watch much TV, but will occasionally enjoy a humorous Netflix show of the sorts with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having never been abroad, I saved some money & quit all of my jobs to follow my dream, where I spent two weeks of solo traveling around Europe, then settled in Austria for two months (where I am currently).

Teach, Learn, Share

I tutor English and study German. I update a blog of my travels and insights for those interested in reading.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship. I promise to be respectful, clean, and easy-going. I hope to share adventure, site seeing, and good conversation.
