I'm a grad student in Columbus. I like traveling and being outdoors. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, biking, really anything outdoors. I'm pretty outgoing and easy to get along with. Also a big catch enthusiast, you'll pretty much always find me with at least a tennis ball, if not a frisbee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and learning about the local spots. I really enjoy chatting with others and it's a fun community. You don't meet mean or unpleasant people while couch surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading a variety of things. I'm currently on the 5th Game of Thrones book, I reread Animal Farm a few weeks ago and was amazed at all the underlying themes I missed in high school. I dabble in self-help and non-fiction books. I'll listen to audiobooks about pretty much anything. Listening to Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance right now and that's a super interesting book.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a youth rock climbing coach and a wrestling coach, so I'm all about teaching motor skills. But actually, I can teach outdoor rocking climbing skills (lead climbing, cleaning sport anchors, etc. ). All about sharing stories about interesting people, places, and adventures. Always willing to try new things and learn new skills. I can also share Indian recipes from my mother and always like learning new recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm all about sharing pleasant conversation!
