Back in the US after 6 months in Southeast Asia! I met so many wonderful people through Couchsurfing, I hope I can pass it on by being part of the community and helping out anyone who comes through my town.

I like to experience a new city through the local food and having a beer. I love connecting with people and learning about your life experiences, and I hope to stay with hosts, host, or meet up with CSers with the same desire.

I am extremely clean, honest, and respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use the Events and Hangouts feature the most to meet locals and other travelers.

I am interested in friendships. Couchsurfing ≠(DOES NOT EQUAL) A Dating App to me. Please respect the way I choose to use this site.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ONE AMAZING THING
Spelunking for 3 hours in Budapest! It was amazing, and terrifying for the closeted claustrophobic in me, but it was a one-time experience I'll never forget.

BONUS FUN FACT
I also kept up with a pen pal from the Czech Republic since I was 11 years old. We've met up all over the world and I love the thought of seeing more people I meet on the road at another point in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I'm a data nerd with skills in analysis, graphic design, and data visualization. I can teach some basics with that, or maybe you want to learn some basic sappy love songs on the ukulele? Got that covered!

LEARN
I work in public health with Native tribes in Michigan. I love to talk about my years of experience working on teen pregnancy prevention and traditional tobacco projects with the tribes.

SHARE
I'm an indoor cycling instructor and a running enthusiast. I can share some great playlists to get you active!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I CAN OFFER
I believe in a pay it forward system, so if you'd like nothing more than a promise to extend the same hospitality one day when I can provide, I promise to do the same.

I can offer companionship and a genuine interest in connecting. I love hearing stories and answering any questions or curiosities you may have about my experiences.

AS A HOST...
I can offer you a comfortable couch to sleep on and a night or two out in Lansing to some of the local sights. I am traveling for work often so I may not have availability, but I will do what I can to help you out. I love my city and I want people to have a good experience when they come here to visit!
