I'm 22 years old, almost 9 months post grad and trying to figure out what the hell I want to do in this life anyways. Right now I work in a bakery and love it with all my heart because I get to see people come together over food every single day.

I like chasing the beauty in life, and I see that everywhere. I always want to be soaking that up, and pushing myself to share it with others.

I believe the best way to love other people is through food.

I hate the injustices in the world, but try to be kind to everyone I meet, hoping that it'll help in some small way.

I hate the cliché of always being down to try new things, but I am – especially if it's somebody sharing their passion with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love stories and I love experiencing people's passions - seeing what makes their eyes light up, and what they can't stop talking about. I want to soak in as much of this world, and the people of it as I can. What's a better place for that than here, where so many people seem to share that same interest.

I can't host right now because I'm in between places, but as soon as I have a place I can truly call my own, it'll be a priority for me. I want to make sure I can give just as much hospitality as I've been shown.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm part of the Harry Potter generation, so that series always has a special place in my heart. My favorite design book is the Interaction of Color by Josef Albers.

I will literally listen to any music out there, I promise. I always hate when people ask me what my favorite music is because THERE'S SO MUCH! How can I choose a favorite?

Teach, Learn, Share

I would LOVE to learn about the food from places I visit, and I will always be game for cooking meals together over a bottle of wine. Dessert can be on me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make some pretty killer desserts – and if you want me to bake one of my favorites for you, you don't have to ask twice.

Also I promise to root for whatever soccer team you root for if we watch a game together (as long as it's not a game against the Seattle Sounders).
