I work in Sales, but am passionate about travel (obviously), volunteering, cooking and eating food :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite thing about traveling is learning for about new cultures. I want to know how the locals live, where they go, what they do. Seeing the sites is great, but I want a better understanding of the world, not just something I can find on Google.
Also.. food :)

Music, Movies, and Books

A tough one, I mostly just listen to music as background or in the car..
But I LOVE podcasts: Radiolab, Beautiful Anonymous, TED Radio Hour, Millenial, Serial, This American Life.. I could go on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I solo backpacked Asia for over two months. I wish it never ended. I don't think I've ever done a more empowering thing for myself... Well maybe moving to Korea to teach English was high up on that list..

What I Can Share with Hosts

On a basic level- I clean up after myself, and can stay out of the way when necessary.

On a deeper level- I'm great an conversation, cooking, can help with learning English, great with kids, if applicable. I'm super willing to lend a hand with things around the house, and overall I can be good company.
