I went backpacking through Europe in 2019, hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc and had many other incredible adventures. This was an amazing experience and I can't wait to see where the wind takes me next!

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts." - Mark Twain

I was born in California and raised in Texas, Belgium and the Netherlands. I've been going back and forth since then and have lived in many different places in the Netherlands. I plan on living in many other countries before my time on this magnificent rock is over. In the recent years I've started doing quite a few things which I love. I'm a former vegan who became vegetarian because I missed pizza. I love teaching scuba diving, vegetarian cooking, bachata, salsa, English and Dutch. Look forward to learn many new things and teach in some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My upcoming plan is to travel the world to share love, kindness and experiences with other Earthlings. There is so much to learn and there are so many people who could use a helping hand. I look forward to doing so around the globe.

My love for traveling is vast, yet I don't enjoy being a tourist. I find the best way to embed myself in a culture is in the company of locals.
