Traveler and dancer in my heart. I love adventures, photography, dancing, hiking, culture, music, science, and meeting new people. In 2017 I traveled for 4 months of the year around the Midwest to East Coast of the US and parts of Ontario, Canada. I think it's safe to note the need to travel in my bones!
Interested in Dancing
Interested in Hiking
Fluent in English
Learning Japanese
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To travel, meet new people, and see the culture of areas as a budget traveler.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love all types of music. My current favorite is indie rock. London Grammar is my all time favorite. Avid reader-- fantasy, fiction, and scientific & psychology articles. Movies: pretty much anything except horror.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Traveled for 4 months in 2017 with my trusty, noble metal steed, Azula (Jeep).
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach the basics of a number of partner dances and hiking skills. Pretty open minded about what I'll learn. Obviously as traveling enthusiasts, you understand. :) Share: travel stories, adventure stories, and my enthusiasm for life.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm a great story teller if you catch me at the right time. Some of my adventure stories are ridiculous and funny. I enjoy a good intellectual conversation or an adventure, but I'm just as happy revving up my solo wandering skills. I'm pretty easy going and am respectful of both the people in places I stay and the areas themselves. I clean up after myself and often offer my place in D.C. to people I befriend on my travels.
