Travel bug perpetually on the search for my next great adventure.

I am about to head to Asia for four months and would love to stay with locals along the way!

I am an outgoing introvert who likes getting off the beaten path and into nature.

I have had numerous bad experiences with hosts making uncomfortable hints that they would only host me with the expectation of sex. If this is you, please do not offer to host me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My brother and I hosted several travelers when we lived together and I always had a great experience. I got to know people I likely never would have otherwise met, expanded my worldview and had some of the most fun nights of my life. There's also something really wonderful about getting to see the world you maybe take for granted through someone else's eyes.

I couchsurfed while backpacking through Europe and loved it. I think it enhanced my experience in each city giving me a more authentic sense of what each city was like which made it easier to appreciate.

Interests

I am often seen in the mountains with a camera in my hands.

I love backpacking, hiking, camping, snowboarding, cooking, reading and of course, traveling.
