American with Swedish heritage. Obsessed with Scandinavian culture.

I lead a very active lifestyle. I love exploring new places through running and biking. Also a big fan of hiking! Any thing that gets me outdoors.

All this activity makes me hungry and I use this hunger to discover local cuisines wherever I go. I am especially fond of pastries, ice cream, and coffee. I'm a decent cook and enjoy sharing this with others. I pretty much eat everything but I mainly prepare vegetarian food when at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see new places like a local and make new friends with people that I wouldn't otherwise meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Found my relatives in Sweden and they gave me an amazing tour of my family history that none of my American family knew about.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about photography! Someone help me figure out this camera so I can stop relying on my iPhone! ;)

I enjoy cooking; especially with other people who can share new recipes or ways of doing things.
