I'm currently nearing the end of my second RTW trip, and want to make it memorable as possible! I love books, writing, film, adventuring, talking with new people and exploring everything the world has to offer. I've written an (unpublished) novel and enjoy photography in my spare time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that traveling should be about seeing the world for what it is. About making friends and experiencing other cultures in an authentic way, about seeing all the earth has to offer, and about learning and growing as a person. Couchsurfing seems a great way to hit all of these marks, so here I am.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about writing and photography (though I'm still learning both), plus English and life in the U.SA. Would love to learn Spanish. But I'm happy to pick up new information from anywhere in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes (I hope)! And maybe a nice, home cooked meal.
