I am kicking off my thirties by quitting my job and going traveling! I haven't hosted because I don't own a couch, and I have room mates. I haven't surfed because I have stayed in hostels. Despite those facts, I can say, you won't be disappointed in hosting me. I'm a friendly, respectful, quiet, inquisitive person who travels cheap and prefers life experiences and seeing the world over owning a fancy car or house.

I have worked non-stop since I was 16 and I am ready for a break. Government jobs are micromanaged and lack any motivation. I am motivated by people. Helping people, getting to know people, and seeing a concepts from another angle is exciting and fascinating to me.

I would love to do some volunteer work while I travel. If you know of any during my travel dates, please send the information my way!

I play ukulele and love to dance! I know salsa and used to dance swing. I haven't done either in a while. I'm rather good at billiards and sarcasm.
I enjoy good beer and wine.
Running, hiking, biking, camping (I love campfires), and photography are passions of mine.
I shall be searching for cool, unique pieces to make jewelry from and oddities to photograph.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe people are good and that we have so much to share with each other. By letting someone into your home, you welcome them as a friend. Having friends all over the world would be a dream come true!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach English and jewelry making. Learn about other cultures and languages. Share my time by volunteering and being a friend.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and would love to make you a piece of jewelry from my collection or from items I find while I travel. I can also fix some jewelry if yours has broken. I am up for an adventure. Need a partner for something? Chess? I'm terrible at chess but, I will try my best!
