CURRENT MISSION

To find the best ice cream in the world! (and the best people to share it with)

ABOUT ME

I love meeting other people and hearing their stories! I want to discover new music, foods, idioms, ways of thinking, and anything about the world. I'm a science teacher, which gives me lots of time to travel.

I love to cook and bake (and share!)

For hobbies I bike, code, dive, play board games, and climb.

PHILOSOPHY

I value connections over sights. I don't want to just check off a list of countries, but want to have memorable experiences.

When I travel I like to try to see what it would be like to live in that country. Some of the best times are running errands with couchsurfers! I love checking out what the grocery store is like in a place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I get to the New York meetup when I can and love to show people around town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed and hosted before, both great experiences!

Interests

I enjoy nature, science, cooking, trying new things, learning new skills, and exploring. I like playing board games, card games, and pick up sports.

I'm getting into climbing, archery and coding.

I'm also in the burning man community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Indonesia, I swam in a lake full of jellyfish that can't sting. The whole experience of getting there, meeting up with people, and the beauty of the lake itself is a great memory.
