I love to build community, meet new people, visit new places, adventure and explore. I value living in a way that's respectful of the earth and also the health of the people and creatures living on the earth. I'm grateful for this life and I'm interested in making the most out of it!

CURRENT MISSION

Grow community, make music and new connections, share in the experience of life with new people and old friends alike

ABOUT ME

I am outgoing, adventurous, curious... I am happy to explore new places on my own, but also love to make new friendships and adventure together. I travel frugally, but like to make a point to visit cultural centers as well as natural wild places. I love music and am generally enthralled by experiencing local live music wherever I go, as well as dance. I have travelled quite a bit, and feel extremely lucky for the wonderful experiences I have had. I look forward to more travels in the future...

PHILOSOPHY

Shoot for the stars, if you don't quite make it all the way, you are bound to make it some place interesting and beautiful anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to meet up with other travelers when they are in New Hampshire, and I can show them around, or meet up wherever else in the world and explore together! I love to travel and explore life on Planet Earth. If your profile says you are hosting I might get in touch with you at some point! You never know. In Portsmouth I can host sometimes. I have a spacious studio apartment with a fold out futon couch for guests. I can host one person at a time, unless you wish to camp out in the yard in which case two people is alright.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Reykjavik, Iceland, surfed one couch & met other hosts and surfers. Had a fantastc time! Surfed in Berlin as well and once again had an amazing time! I have yet to host but am looking forward to it!
