Overview
About Me
Hey there!
I'm here on a two week trip before my next job starts. Decided to buy a ticket and plan this whole trip two days ago since I’ve always wanted to come to Iceland and wasn’t sure when I’d get a better opportunity.
I work in media relations and help companies with storytelling to consumer and business news outlets. In my free time Im a drummer in an indie rock band and love to exchange music and see live shows. I also love hiking and spent most of my summer backpacking in the Sierra Nevadas in California.
I am a light packer, clean and polite so I think I am pretty easy to live with. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their interests and views on life. Would love to learn more about Iceland and how the country has changed since becoming such a travel destination.
Excited to meet you and hang out!
