About Me

Currently studying economics, but trying to find out my true passions. Love rock climbing, traveling, ice skating, hiking, camping, and the outdoors! A movie buff and film photography enthusiast. Always down for an adventure

Enjoy (but am only a beginner at) snowboarding and surfing! Would love to go any chance I get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan on traveling to many countries throughout my lifetime and believe this experience is best when meeting locals who can show you their true city/country. I would love to meet people who can do exactly that whilst making lifelong friends and memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Shins, The Cure, PIXIES, and the xx, to Radiohead, Yann Tiersen, and Beck.

I am a huge movie buff! Some of my favorites are The Lobster, Lost in Translation, In Bruges, Manchester by the Sea, The Departed, The Shining, and No Country for Old Men - to name a few.

Animal Farm, Tuesdays with Morrie, Disgrace, mountains beyond mountains

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping in India or getting around on a scooter in India with no knowledge of how to drive.

Or maybe visiting the Swiss Alps on a 24 hour layover in Zurich?

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been told by my friends around the world that I'd be a good English teacher (but maybe this would be more valid if English were their native language haha)

I'd love to exchange our traveling experiences, and engage in a cultural exchange firsthand - whether that be through language, food, history or the arts

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of my traveling experiences, as well as a new friend to explore and learn about your country with.

And also to add you to my beautiful collection of analog portraits! (Going to start a project where I photograph everyone I get to meet abroad)
