***This summer, my boyfriend and I are traveling throughout Europe before we officially move back to Seattle. I hope to be able to meet up with some Couchsurfers around Europe!!**

I grew up in Seattle, WA. I'm a writer by nature but in marketing by trade. I've also played competitive Ultimate Frisbee for most of my life, and I write about Ultimate professionally as well.

I love road trips, exploring, hiking, kayaking, and I'm learning to climb. I read like crazy, write even more, and I'm a total TV addict :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After meeting people while traveling, I've informally hosted people who needed somewhere to crash, and those evenings were always the most interesting. I love meeting new people, and I believe what goes around comes around.

So far my couchsurfing experiences have been amazing!! Thank you for everyone who has hosted us so far, I look forward to returning the favor when I get home :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: blues rock like BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and then lots of top 40, and some hip hop like Chance the Rapper and Kendrick.

Books: I love historical fantasy, murder mysteries, and in general great fiction. Lately I've been into Robert Galbraith, Guy Gavriel Kay, and of course George R.R. Martin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of the "adrenaline junkie" activities - sky diving, bungee jumping, paragliding - but I'm really proud of the first time I traveled alone. I was in Namibia, and I put myself out there to meet new people, make impulsive choices, and try new things.

As a result, I had the MOST amazing trip of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach social media marketing skills & some Wordpress/web design skills.

I can also help with English, and (some) photography.

I would also love to share cooking tips and tricks - I love to cook.
