Life is a short ride; I want to experience and learn as much as I can while I'm here.

I've heard I come across as a positive and genuine person to be around. I am naturally curious which makes traveling so much fun when meeting new people and discovering new places. I love seeing how people live in so many different cities and towns across the globe. I've slept in mansions, on the floor with candlelight as the electricity, in airports, in cheesemaker huts in the Swiss Alps, and even next door to where Einstein lived! With all these accommodations, it was the people that made it so memorable. I'm very grateful to have been able to meet so many amazing individuals through Couchsurfing!

I'm always open to learning. I'm ambitious but also don't take myself too seriously. I can laugh at myself and like to find humor even in situations that go sideways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started my Couchsurfing experience in beautiful Australia in 2012, and continued to use it in 2014 when I did a 6-month solo backpacking trip in Europe across 20+ countries, and again a year later in NYC. I have gained so many new friends and love Couchsurfing for giving me those opportunities to meet them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm forever down to rewatch Lord of the Rings. Sci-Fi, dystopian, dramas, old-school romcoms, documentaries.
My music taste is all over the place. From 90s hip hop to Mozart and old Jazz, pop remixes, classic rock, and folk...the list goes on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef
Whale watching on the coast of Nova Scotia
Multi-day hiking in the Swiss Alps

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing travel experiences, making a big breakfast spread, photography tips, lessons on graphic design, I can be a mediocre dance partner and an even better hiking partner!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm no Julia Child but I'll try to cook you a meal... add enough butter and cheese and I'm sure it won't be half bad!
