I like to be moving, so I found a job that travels.

Sometimes I talk too fast and take myself too seriously, but it all usually ends in laughs. 😁 Right now minimalism and getting into nature are the goals.

PHILOSOPHY:
To always keep an open mind. (I don't always succeed, but I do always try!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently a surfer, but looking forward to hosting when I put down roots! Or if you want to road trip I'm happy to supply the car. :) It's a great way to meet people and to travel on a budget, both of which are important to me. I love to meet local people as well as other travelers - I'm always up for both.

Interests

Traveling, learning, hiking, camp/backpacking, reading, dancing(!), swimming, good conversation, SCUBA, knitting, good food, sustainability and the environment, and a million other things!

I'm up for trying most things, the exceptions being death-defying activities. So basically, no skydiving. :P

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
Be a good person and make music and I'll probably enjoy the experience.

Movies
Not horror, but most other things.

Books
Everything! Trying to think of examples makes me immediately blank on everything I've ever read, heard, or watched. I like fiction especially. Let's talk about it when I meet you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise from inside the caldera of Haleakala on Maui, HI.

Listening to the mountain echo the song of a bugle back to us through complete silence while crossing the Königsee lake at the beginning of our trek in the German Alps.

Seeing swans floating beneath white cliffs in the Baltic Sea.

Befriending an old Russian pianist in Berlin over weekly pastries. He was continually outraged over my lack of knowledge of Bach and the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and took it upon himself to remedy the situation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: company, meals, knowledge, experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, information about the U.S and Hawaii particularly, dancing nights if there are any local ones, English language practice, cooking and meals, my mad dishwashing skills, wine and hopefully a memorable experience!
