If life didn't have a habit of getting in the way I'd love to go see a lot more of the world. Part of my favorite part of traveling is meeting so many new and interesting people; it always gives me perspective on life! I love exploring new cultures and I'm very much into outdoors sports and hiking :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The spirit of couch surfing is the best part of travel. Meeting new people and helping other love the places you know best even if it is a very brief time spent together.

A friend I met in a hostel in Australia told me about it and here I am :)

Interests

Anything outdoors in the summer, even better on or in the water is great. I love kayaking and hiking. I also thoroughly enjoy horseback riding, photography and music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I pretty much like it all. But I mostly listen to a lot of blues/folk/indie and a bit of underground rap, and classic rock .

Books- My favorite authors are those who's books you never get tired of. If I had to pick favorites Brent Weeks, Patrick Rothfuss, and Christopher Moore.

Movies- I like them... I really don't watch many though. My favorite releases from the past few years were 7 Psychos and 100 foot Journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lots of stuff and hoping to do more!

A standout from recently would be swimming with sea turtles on the Barrier Reef at sunrise as they woke up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning many random things but good food is definitely central to my travel experiences. I've learned to cook from many different people with flavors from around the world and I'm always willing to share what I know or learn more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always up to chat and share stories about places I've been. I'm a pretty good baker- if you turn me loose in your kitchen I can definitely provide treats!
