I'm a finance professional who enjoys touring and learning about history. I enjoy being outdoors, especially on water. I do hot yoga at home but don't have my mat with me. I like kayaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet friends who are solo travelers like myself. I first signed up to stay with people for free, but found hostels to be an excellent way to make friends while staying somewhere safe and affordable.

Interests

I'm really into understanding and appreciating other cultures. So I like to learn things that are both "boy oriented" and "girl oriented" (stereotypically) and not be bound by any confines. I ask a LOT of questions about how others live, and I use that knowledge to improve my own life!

• motorcycles
• gardening
• kayaking
• camping
• craft beer

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie, pop and classic rock genres are my favorite music. I don't read a lot of books but I read a ton of news and I keep up with some educational magazines.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled western Europe alone! Been to Iceland! Parasailed in Aruba! Scuba dived in Dominican Republic!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach you about the complexities of American politics, if you are interested. I am on the liberal end of things. I've pretty much decided I need to learn Spanish so I can enjoy traveling to more countries. I am willing to share anything about myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Extremely friendly and outgoing as well as clean and respectful. I do cuss a lot in English, especially if I am passionate about the subject :)
