I've discovered that while traveling, walking and eating are two of my favorite things. I also love cheap wine, cappuccinos, open air markets and a solid dose of sweet Mother Nature.

More stuff that makes my soul happy, in no particular order: dogs, live music, yoga, adventures, food, dancing like an idiot, Einstein quotes, laughing really hard, sunshine, fresh air, spoken word poetry, learning, good hugs, chocolate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although money saving is a big perk of CS, my main reason for surfing is to meet people and see the local perspective of the beautiful cities I'm visiting. I love the unique opportunity CS provides to connect and share the human experience with people I likely wouldn't meet otherwise.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently reading Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac.

My Spotify top played music includes Trampled by Turtles, The Last Revel, Lord Huron, The Avett Brothers, Josh Ritter and various random 90s alternative. Taylor Swift is my spirit animal.

I'm not much of a movie connoisseur, but always looking for recommendations. I especially like documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked on commercial fishing boats in the Bering Sea.

I enjoy cooking, and I've been told I'm pretty good at it! I can also share conversation, adventures and laughs.
