I left my job in 2017 and drove around the US visiting National and State Parks while backpacking and wilderness camping. I then settled with a friend for a while as her in-home nanny.
I recently finished backpacking through SE Asia for nine months.
I enjoy being outdoors, even if it's as simple as eating on a patio. I stay active and do my best to experience new things frequently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience a new location in the best way; stay with a local and get info first hand. Plus I enjoy making friends and believe in community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music can easily affect my moods. I enjoy a wide variety from folk and bluegrass to pop. I catch myself listening to classical on the radio during long stretches of driving. I enjoy 80's and classic rock as well.
I finished reading the GoT series and then caught-up with the TV show.
I love reading series bc I want to keep the story going for as long as possible. I'm hoping to start The Dark Tower books soon.
Movies are fun on rainy days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took the Lemosho route up Mt Kilimanjaro for 8 days and reached Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa in Sept 2014.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you the company of a very positive, high energy individual. I try to lead with kindness first and be of service in some way.
