I don't believe in lengthy self-descriptions as it's much better to get to know someone in person. I'm a serious goofball who's always up for anything, whether it be reading with wine in hand or bushwhacking in the wilderness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always seeking good conversation and good company.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In terms of surfing: previously as a student on a budget who has studied and volunteered abroad extensively, I have certainly crashed on many a friend's sofa.

As for hosting, I always love meeting and helping new people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a professional day-maker and highly skilled in the art of removing frowns. My services are always free of charge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a broad spectrum of interests, hobbies, and tales - and I love to share! Whether it's world history, pro travel tips or a basic how-to of yoga, I am always game to teach and learn. If you're up for something a little more physical, I can show you how to rock climb and belay. Also, I make a mean apple pie.
