Since being an exchange student in high school, I have always preferred travel that allows me to get to know local people and see a city through their perspective. I'm a fun loving, positive and easy going spirit. I am also organized, clean, and considerate, and have every intention of being the best guest you have had in your home. If you stay with me, I would expect the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couch surfing, although have hosted once through my roommates account. I now have a place of my own that i can open up to travelers, and am eager to do more traveling in the future and use this as a tool to travel on a budget while getting to know the best parts of the culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am almost 30 and I’ve started mountain biking! It is one of the scariest things I have ever done, and it pushes me physically and mentally. I doubt I’ll ever be a pro, but I strive for improvement and feel great when I’m done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always eager to pick up pieces of new languages and cultures. I also love to collect the marvelous stories of strangers, the things that make us all unique and interesting people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would hope that you find me to be a kind and gracious guest. I would love to share a good conversation and possibly whatever time fits in your schedule. I am also a very positive person to be around (so I've been told).
