I love traveling, seeing/learning new things and meeting new people. I try to be as open minded as possible - I love learning about other cultures, religions and traditions.
My boyfriend (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/connor-harvey) and I are planning a several month backpacking trip around Western and Central Europe, and couldn't be more excited.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The existence of this website amazes and excites me - I'm new to Couchsurfing, but I'm so happy that a community like this can exist and flourish. I love the ability to easily have cultural exchange and the ability to make friends all over the world.

Interests

I have so many interests, but traveling is obviously one of the biggest. I also love to read, listen to music, meet new people, drink good beer, eat delicious (vegetarian) food, and to be outside, whether at the beach, in the woods, or in a city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, but unfortunately am not a musician. My favorite musicians are Damien Rice, Laura Marling, Mew, The Decemberists, Florence and the Machine, Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire, The Knife, First Aid Kit, The Tallest Man on Earth, The Avett Brothers, and many, many more.
My favorite movies tend to be dark comedies. I love Everything is Illuminated and In Bruges.
I don't read as much as I should, or as much as I'd like to. I plan to change that soon. But I love most books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Brewed beer, seen Victoria Falls, visited the Sedlec Ossuary (bone chapel) in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic... I plan to add more to the list very soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

More than anything I want to learn about others and share that knowledge, whether through surfing or hosting. (Or other CS events)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my company, good food and beer, laughter, advice, knowledge, and friendship.
