About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to go out and have fun but I enjoy a relaxing night just as well. I want to learn about the world and the only way to do that is to go to as many places as I can. I just moved back to the United States after working and studying in Asia for the past five years. I spent some time in Amsterdam studying music production on my way back home.

I love music and meeting musicians. I like sports in general and love to longboard. I enjoy hiking, trying new food, doing spontaneous things and going to the beach. I like a good conversation and getting different perspectives on things. I don't need much.

I'm currently studying music production/audio engineering and loving it. I just finished school in Amsterdam and Michigan and now I live in Nashville

I am a certified personal trainer and a coach. I love sports of all kinds.

PHILOSOPHY

It takes way more energy to complain about something than to just enjoy it for what it is and embrace the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ive hosted a few and its been a great experience. I make sure to always be a considerate and clean guest. I believe that couchsurfing is a wonderful thing and I want to make sure everyone involved has a great experience, whether they are hosting me or I am hosting them. Respect is key.

If you read my couch surfing profile, please write the words "can I crash on the futon in your room?" anywhere in your request, or I will not accept it. I have two roommates (one male and one female) and we prefer to only host one person at a time. There is a futon in my bedroom for you to crash on. You will have your own sleeping surface but we will be sleeping in the same room.

I want to meet people with shared interests. Not those who are copy and pasting requests only looking for a free place to stay. I'm not running a free hotel.

Couchsurfing is about community not free-loading.

Interests
