Overview
About Me
On a perpetual mission to make more friends around the world, embrace new experiences and changes, and learn about myself and the universe all at once. I’m a social worker and a bartender; both jobs, while definitely different, are similar in a lot of ways and have helped cultivate a caring spirit and love for people. My boyfriend Luke and I are currently roadtripping the US to explore cities and national parks, visit friends, and attend various festivals. We are both experienced CS’ers as well as Burners! I consider myself to be a well-balanced introvert/extrovert. I crave good conversation and new experiences, love to banter and joke around, and will cook you a meal or make you a cocktail :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
CS offers an opportunity to meet individuals from around the world with new perspectives and stories to share. I want to see the world through the eyes of those who experience it to its fullest extent, and I love to make new friendships that transcend the distance!

Music, Movies, and Books
Big fan of Westworld, Black Mirror, and similar AI/technology themed media. Kurt Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors, as is Douglas Adams. As far as music goes, I’m mostly into the indie/alternative genre and have attended several music festivals around the country (and one in the Netherlands!)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Roadtripped the US & Iceland (not at the same time). Got my open water diver certification in Belize and dove with sharks. Climbed some very tall structures at Burning Man despite my fear of heights (I only cried for 5 minutes)
Countries I’ve Visited
Belize, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Switzerland
