About Me

I used to do much more traveling just out of high school, and sadly I've begun to quiet down due to finally finishing my bachelors. I'll go on to graduate school next year which will reduce my traveling even further, so for now I'm trying to squeeze in as many experiences as I can before my career begins. I'm an event bartender which I really do enjoy and always love showing off my mixology skills :) I love going out dancing, sharing a bottle of wine, walking around the city, scuba diving, and of course, excellent conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is one of the last few Pay-it-Forward communities out there and I'm proud to be apart of it. I have stayed with a group of 3 in Australia, a gentleman in Alaska, a family in Costa Rica, and a handful of others and they have all been such wonderful experiences! I've also gone to a couple of the meetups, one in Italy and another in Hawaii and had a blast at both.

Music, Movies, and Books

Van Morrison and Paul Simon are my favorite artists and I prefer 50s, 60s, and 70s, but I listen to most everything from classic country to dubstep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been given credit in a published photography book called Hong Kong and Macau Magic as an assistant photographer. I'd love to talk about all of our experiences in person!

I very much enjoy cooking! I love being in the kitchen with friends and family, share some wine, experiences, good recipes, and laughs
