I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD and have a tremendous amount of hometown pride. I grew up vacationing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, which is where I currently live. After spending a year living in New York City, the slow paced life on a sandbar has definitely done wonders for my soul. I'm happiest when I am close to the Ocean, but big cities give me life. I wouldn't be myself without the influences and love of my friends and family. My big brothers are my heroes.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am couchsurfing because I am traveling alone and living in a tourist town myself, know that the locals always have the best information. Looking forward to meeting people that can show me their favorite adventure and food spots! After working in freelance film production in NYC for a year and spending every cent to my name trying to scrape by, I am ready to see more of the world without breaking the bank!

Interessen

I love film and television, french new wave filmmakers, old hollywood, hiking, running, camping, swimming, paddleboarding, floating in the ocean, star gazing (though I couldn't find a constellation if my life depended on it), making fresh juices, playing and watching all sports, long discussions, social media, photography, eating delicious vegan meals, and daydreaming

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

A few things for me were zip-lining and white water rafting in Costa Rica, attending Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival twice, running two half marathons, and most importantly- meeting some of my forever friends in college

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am eager to learn any and all things about different cultures, languages, hobbies, different activities, etc. I am always down to share conversations, ideas, hopes, aspirations, and dreams. I could teach you a thing or two about film and film theory if you're interested or fill your brain with useless pop culture tidbits!

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can share a positive attitude, a truthful and honest outlook on things, respect, loyalty, and hopefully memories!
