In a nutshell, I like to travel, play video/board games, write, read, and laugh.

To expand: I'm addicted to seeing what is beyond the next hill, and am particularly fond of finding a ray of sunshine in the grass to write or read upon. I'm all about discussing life while playing games. I've taken it upon myself to learn the ukulele. Hiking is a newfound joy for me, and I'm rather spectacular at making the best out of any situation--I'm rarely bored.

In July of 2015, I quit my job to hike the Camino de Santiago, then travel around Europe/the UK. Since I am traveling, this means, unfortunately, that I can't reciprocate the couch surfing expedition at this time. I'll need to get a place, first!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling in the UK/Europe from July to early March (with three months dedicated to the Camino de Santiago). While I have money saved up, I truly want an experience while staying in overseas. To meet the locals, hear stories, see the sites. The best way to get a taste for life is by living it!

Interests

Writing, reading, video games, and travel. I do a lot of walking. I'm becoming quite adept with the ukulele. I like trying to new things, particularly if it is custom to a culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

Your time to do something is whenever you make it. Make that time now rather than later. How will you gain experience without jumping into the fray?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, guacamole making abilities, video gaming expertise. I'm a great listener. And I love sharing walks. I'm always up for adventure, too, so I could be your next partner in crime! You know. Without the actual crime part. I really don't want to be deported.
