I spent a few months backpacking in Europe before moving out to Portland, Oregon in 2012, and that is when I "surfed" for the first time. Let's just say that I have not looked back since. I am truly thankful for all of the people that I have gotten to know in this community over the years.

I enjoy meeting new people and seeking out new experiences, so I can be easily convinced to plan something fun together. :)

👉🏼 At the moment, my few belongings are in storage, and my partner (Quin!) and I are living nomadically and working remotely. We enjoy slower travel, and so we generally plan to spend 2-4 months at each place.

📍Currently living in Bariloche until mid-April, 2023.

I work as a Product Manager at YNAB (You Need A Budget). Have you heard of it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In all aspects! I love to surf while traveling, and I try to give back to the community as much as possible by hosting or having travelers hop in on weekend adventures!

I love exploring the outdoors and experiencing new places and ways of life. I thrive on climbing, trail running, skiing, packrafting, mountain biking, and adventure racing. I am also into stoicism, naps in the sun, and ice cream. :)
