Friendly and easy going. Love to learn and experience new things.

I really like to hike, read and explore. I can drink my body weight in coffee, I can sit and watch birds for hours and I love to swim in natural waters like oceans, lakes and rivers.

I was born in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the USA. Living here I have been lucky enough to meet people from all over the world and they have inspired me to learn new languages, travel and explore different cultures.

I am fully vaccinated for covid and try to be the very best house guest I can.

It is important to me to be grateful, kind and respectful.

I am extremely grateful that amazing people open their homes and hearts to me, offering the opportunity to create incredible friendships.

I have worked in many restaurants from dishwasher to general manager. I also studied some computer programming and advertising. Businesses are very interesting to me and if you get me started talking about them or a business problem I probably won’t shut up for a few hours or until I have solved it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people and create friendships that I otherwise wouldn’t have. To discover new places from the people who live there and love those places. To learn new things and languages. And to get way out of my comfort zone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
