I am a student, musician, full time menial job worker, and proponent of free thinking. I have an adventurous spirit and a calm, relaxed demeanor. I love knowledge and culture and am fascinated by the prospect of traveling to anywhere I have not been before! As a part time college student, I am looking at ways to travel relatively cheaply. I play bass and 6 string guitar and love to hike, bike, and spend time in nature.
Interested in Boxing
Interested in Coffee
Fluent in English
Learning French
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Traveling, Meeting people, and Playing music are some of my favorite things- I am on CS in hopes that it will help facilitate all three!!! I am naturally introverted, but I love people, and couch surfing has been a way to make meaningful connections thus far.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Being in 3 great bands within the past few years, and being in the one I am currently in (Braceface). Enacting a positive change in my community by being part of the Baltimore,MD punk scene I have seen how a few people can set a cycle of positive change in motion. Coming out of school with an associates degree (and continuing on to a bachelors) with absolutely NO DEBT!!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I share an open mind and a willingness to learn from everything and everyone around me. I believe in leading by example and that people teach others how to treat them through both words and actions. I have faith in humanity and I believe that there is no reason to look down on someone unless you are helping lift them up.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I believe that everybody has the potential to be a teacher- I am very patient and accepting of all lifestyles, as well as being a good listener. I love to hear people talk about their passions
My Interests
Depending on what mood I'm I like to see as much as I can by way of wandering, or having a plan. Though I also love to enjoy one part of a town or city. Anything that is different or out of my box is fascinating to me (I have rarely learned anything through being completely comfortable). I was studied Cultural Anthropology in community college, and I've come away with a love of comparing and contrasting the differences in culture of my own way of life, with that of other people. On a more basic level, I love good strong coffee. I love good quality food because I believe food unites us all on a basic level. I have an interest in geography and belief that by living in the US and meeting people from all over the world I don't have an excuse to not know where basic things are on a map. Last I can think of right now (certainly not least) is my interest in listening to people talk about what they're passionate about.
