Hello! I’m a storyteller from the United States. I have two degrees from university: Philosophy and Filmmaking.

I have been on Couchsurfing since 2019. I have been to 25 countries. I have lived in the USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Scotland. I love learning about cultures and people. I believe we all have a different story and philosophy to share.

When traveling, I like to hike, visit museums, experiment with photography, and have quality conversations with locals.

My favorite adventure so far is solo backpacking in the Albanian Alps.

CORE BELIEFS—
I believe the purpose of life is to share experiences, build relationships, grow and help other people grow, and love everyone.

UPDATE—
I will explore East Asia next year, so if you have visited any countries in East Asia, I would appreciate learning about your experience!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to get to know a new place is to get to know a person who lives there. I believe this is the most important thing I can do.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I was in Egypt for 2 months. I rode a camel through the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza. At one point, the guide allowed me to stand up on the camel. I will never forget the feeling. It was scary and exciting because the camel was so large. (Picture on my profile)

Or attending the Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
