Hello! Currently studying as an undergraduate, looking to travel the world. Born and raised in Holland, Michigan, you could say I am a true Midwesterner at heart. However, I have been fortunate enough to travel a considerable amount in my two short decades. Needless to say, I find people, culture, anything, interesting.

I've grownup on the water in Michigan...If you're looking for a captain..I'm your guy!

I am a bit new to this website but am looking to make the most of it! Let me know if you ever need a place to crash, beers on me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pssh pssh, i'm not going to give you some generic bull shit...

First: Because any idea that spreads hospitality and understanding is one that you will not find me far behind.

Second: I have been quite privileged to grow up up in a traveling family. Being said, everywhere we went, my family chose to stay in hotels and among the tours/touristy side of travel. Everything I have done has been a wonderful experience, I must say. However, in recent years, I have found myself growingly interested in the people, the genuine aspects of each place. And so, Couchsurfing to me is the opportunity to go beyond the tour guide, the souvenir shop, the all inclusive resort. Couchsurfing, to me, is a genuine opportunity to meet the world in raw.

And ok...Yes, also because I know you're an interesting person, that's why!! (Proceeds to give a generic statement)

Life Philosophy: Be interested, not Interesting.

COUCHSURFING PHILOSOPHY: If you're couchsurfing only for a free place to stay, you're doing it all wrong.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fortunately or unfortunately, I tend to find most things "amazing"...

The most nervous I have ever been was getting caught up in an anti-Israel demonstration in the West Bank...One of those moments when you don't display your American Passport, forsure.

Planning on participating in the Mongol Rally, 2018. In a nutshell, I'll be driving a car from London to Mongolia...Seriously, this is a thing. Look it up!

Teach, Learn, Share

Piano: I have been playing since I was 5 years old. I began my training in classical music but have since moved on to Jazz and improv. Are you looking to learn some piano? Let's get started!!

Other than that, I would say I am quite able to teach you Spanish, soccer, boating, skiing, snowboarding, photography, and video editing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Piano, jokes, smiles, and any help around the house!
