GUESTS:
I recently moved and am sharing a home with three other roommates and two dogs besides mine. While we get accustomed to the new situation I won’t be hosting, sadly.
.
.
POTENTIAL HOSTS:
I need smoke free homes — no smoking inside the house, although I’ve stayed with guests who smoke before — (I gotta guard those singer vocal chords)
.
+ I’m low maintenance, couch, sleeping bag, etc. is cool, but if I have a room — a lock for privacy is best.
.
I often burst into song, too — if these things are things that don’t vibe with you or your lifestyle, no worries, just please keep this in mind when offering to host me!
.
BEFORE ADDING ME:
If I haven’t met you personally, please don’t add me. It’s adding a false sense of security for the strangers meeting up with you, and I can’t vouch for your character if I haven’t met you. Same goes after exchanging messages prior to meeting and never meeting, or only spending time once briefly.

I’m working as a full time medical assistant, while working marketing events on some evenings and weekends, and was previously a BHT. I may or may not be able to hang out depending on your ETA and length of stay.

More about me… East coaster living in the desert. Christian, hopeful romantic, self proclaimed hipster. Musical theatre trained but still incredibly accident prone. I’m an avid hiker! I’m only a foodie when it comes to tacos, and I’m always down for a photoshoot + open to learning new things and adventuring.

If you’re sensitive to essential oil scents, or are allergic to dogs, or Christian music, my place is probably not a good fit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- I love meeting new people!
- spontaneous road trips.
- I love to teach & be taught new things.
- I travel a lot for work.
My travel + lodging isn’t normally compensated so I try to manage my income and travels so they’re worthwhile profit-wise.

I like to consider myself a traveler, not a tourist. Part of the reason why I like to hang with locals.

I’m laid back and outgoing at the same time. I’m a tidy and respectful guest who is open to going out or laying low at home. I don’t snore and I can help out around the house.

It’s hard for me to sit still, but I promise to be a good listener who knows how to have fun and be good company.
