I've spent the last 4 years working in finance, and the last 2 years living in Portland, Oregon. In my 20's, I made it a point to be the life of the party. I'm still social but have found more constructive ways to connect with friends and strangers alike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nobody wants to be lonely (first round is on me if you get this reference). As I approached 30 earlier this year, I decided to take a leap of faith and travel outside my comfort zone. I'm a virgin couchsurfer and world traveler but I can't wait test the limits of personal space and comfort by engaging with wonderful strangers in lands strange to me. I am kind of bummed to be taking on this huge adventure alone, so meeting new friends is the top priority for this trip!

Interests

My black lab named Bella, horror movies (both good and laughable), solipsism, first person/strategy/horror survival video games, science fiction tv (fringe and continuum are favorites), and pizza.

Music, Movies, and Books

Living in the Pacific Northwest definitely broadened my musical horizons but you'll still probably find a lot of second hand embarrassment from my playlists. Britney fan since 1996. I once saw Bieber in concert and it wasn't absolutely terrible. Ke$ha, Tinashe, Childish Gambino, Rihanna, Troye Sivan, Carly Rae Jepsen, are a few current favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013, I drove all night from Omaha, Nebraska to Roswell, New Mexico to visit the alien space museum.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn how to cook dishes from whatever country I happen to be in!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dog photos, pints of beer, hopefully lots of laughs. I come from a Midwest background but have lived several other places in the United States. Each move made me better than the previous version of myself and in 2016, I'll be upgrading again, to Europe and beyond! Check out my pictures on Instagram @remixtheghost
