Writer, wiener dog mom and wine lover. I recently bought a '72 Boler camper and am working on renovating it before traveling for a few months. Let's be friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a huge proponent of traveling because traveling has taught me so much about myself, about others, and about the world. Without the kindness of others sharing their lives in someway (whether that's been opening their doors, sharing a meal, or meeting up for coffee), I wouldn't have been able to have the experiences I've had. Couchsurfing is an amazing community that I'm excited to be a part of. And if there is any way I can help carry out the Couchsurfing mission, then I'm on board.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a bunch of useless, but interesting facts. I love photography and know a little about film, but am eager to learn more. I'm big on nutrition and would love to share my knowledge with anyone interesting in listening, or cook you a meal.
