I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and I'm currently attending school in Columbia, MO. I'm an aspiring journalist and enjoy writing and reading the news. I also enjoy cooking, cycling, movies, sports (playing, watching, discussing) and music (listening, playing [piano, saxophone, banjo]).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think traveling is a hugely educational and fun thing for a person to do and that it should be within everybody's budget. I see Couchsurfing as a way to make travel more affordable, in addition to giving people an opportunity to make connections they may not have made otherwise.

Interests

Books, movies, music and the great outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm reading The Road to Santiago by Walter Starkie in preparation for my own Camino this August.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've cycled from Munich to Vienna, Vienna to Budapest and San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you've got a piano I'd be happy to share some songs with you!

I also love to talk about travel, so I'd be really interested in any stories you might have from the road. Of course, I'd share some of my own too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really enjoy cooking for people! And I'm very much into exploring so if my host has the time I'd love to hit the streets/mountains etc.
