I’m a recent graduate from the University of Maryland who’s passionate about the environment, music, and new experiences. Tell me a story! Because I love meeting people and I’m a great listener. I grew up on an island in the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland where seafood is at its best and Washington DC is only a short drive away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couchsurfing because when I travel, I want to be immersed in the local culture instead of stuck up in a hotel. I’ve heard that the couchsurfing community is really cool, so I’m here to meet people and see new places

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: electronic funk, alternative rock, country, jazz, and anything that makes me want to dance. Going to concerts is one of my favorite things to do.
Movies: I don’t watch too many, but do love a good movie night.
Books: Currently rediscovering a love for reading, if you have any book suggestions, please throw them my way. I like books that make me think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer, I lived in the Panamanian jungle for 10 weeks and in many ways, it changed my life

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a black belt so if you want to learn self defense, I’ve got you. I studied environmental science in school so I enjoy discussing current environmental challenges we face around the planet. Honestly, I’m not well-versed in politics but generally support ideas that empower people and encourage cooperation. One of my favorite things about conversation is the opportunity to hear another person’s perspective

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, I’m no chef but I enjoy creating a meal with friends. Many laughs and a friendly ear.
