Overview
About Me
Looking to meet new people, learn about different cultures, and explore reality and our environment through others' eyes. I love differing perspectives and beliefs and see that as the best way to grow as a person.
I love cycling, hiking, and music. Anything to do with being in nature (i.e. camping/backpacking/canoeing) and anything active is what I'm into. Always down for new experiences.
I’ve lived some hitchhiking adventures, cool people, and living out of my backpack for a year and am ready for post Covid life!
Living and working in Rome, always down for a hang :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Orwell, Coehlo, Vonnegut, Gaiman, and Pratchett are probably my favorite authors.
Music: Folk, Indie, Jazz, Motown/Funk/Disco, and Rap. The only genres I haven't extensively explored have got to be EDM/electronic music and Country.
Movies: Tarantino and Kubric are hands down my favorite directors.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hitchhiked out of a backpack and 1000USD for a year in the Balkans and New Zealand.
I've climbed one of the highest peaks in Belize with an English med school student I met a few days beforehand. Signed a deathwaiver while the rangers chuckled behind the desk, found out 4 hours in that the trail hasnt been maintained, and somehow survived to live a tale of getting lost in the middle of the rainforest in the middle of a jaguar reserve.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer a myriad of (hopefully) interesting and funny stories from my travels, a wide open ear to hear your life experiences (because honestly that's much more intriguing), and a fun companion. I'm all about different perspectives. I can also cook pretty well 😉
