I'm currently a neuroscience PhD student, and I also really like to play music and create art. I really enjoy building relationships and having conversations that are deep and genuine. I'm also a Christian, and my faith is really important to me and shapes the way I view the world and live my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to be able to engage with the culture and community of a place when I travel, and maybe to be able to offer that to others at some point.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a solo backpacking trip through Ireland, the UK, and France for a month!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always love learning how to cook new dishes, and I am not a bad baker and would love to share that! I love to jam (I play guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, flute, ukulele, and the keyboard) and could maybe show someone a bit about music and would always love to learn more!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Company, music, conversation, baked goods, general helpfulness!
