About Me

Hello surfers!

I've recently returned to America after a year abroad volunteering in Zambia, and I'm keen on some more adventure! Over the summer of 2016 I'll be heading up the west coast of North America from California until I hit the Yukon in Canada. I will be traveling with my friend, Teagan, and we are eager for stories, advice, and good times to share with anybody who crosses our path!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of the fun of being on this planet is being able to share our experiences with people from all walks of life. We don't always have the luxury of traveling to every place in the world, so sometimes the next best thing is to seek out stories from those who are eager to share. I believe the Couchsurfing community embodies this in some way, and the more we believe it, the better our community, and the farther its reaches. I look forward to meeting more wonderful friends along the way!

Interests

I'm an avid reader, rock climber, dreamer, and writer. I spend a lot of my days wandering to new places, meeting people, and expressing myself whenever possible.

  • writing
  • books
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • rock climbing
  • volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a variety of art. Sometimes I like mindless spectacle, but I'm usually down for a good, pensive book. We can all find something in common that speaks to us, but for now I'll just say my favorite author is Sam Harris, favorite filmmaker is Richard Linklater, and favorite music of the moment would be GriZ.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I served in Peace Corps in Zambia. It was one of those things that will always stick with me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a big fan of slacklining, unicycling, and rock climbing. I'll be traveling with my climbing gear.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can compensate for any costs and provide food, do some cooking, cleaning, chores. It's fun to do the domestic thing.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Laos, Malawi, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, Viet Nam
