I am a 26 year old traveler that works in Alaska each summer as a Tour Director for Princess Cruise Line. In my "off-season" I travel to new countries. I am relocating to New Zealand for 2016 and I am so excited to experience everything that country has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting started in a new country is difficult and expensive. I am couch surfing for two reasons: to meet new, interesting people, and save some money while I look for a flat.

Interests

I love hiking and trekking, and I am in the mountains whenever possible. I also love kayaking and surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big folk and bluegrass fan, and as cliche' as it sounds, I really can listen to anything. As far as movies go, anything Wes Anderson makes I am a fan of, also really enjoy espionage films. My favorite book recently is Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon (the film is also really good).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the backcountry of Denali National Park in Alaska is amazing to me. Not because its a huge challenge, but because the wilderness out there has the ability to change your life, and it has done that to me.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Canada, Puerto Rico, Thailand, Viet Nam
