I love traveling and connecting with new environments and people. I am always seeking new experiences and learning about different cultures - I gravite to Couchsurfing for this reason, getting the chance to live and gain insight from a local is a real gift!

Back home, I am an interior designer and property manager. I also put a lot of time and effort into hosting local concerts! I have a dog, Jackson - who is truly my best friend!

CURRENTLY: Spending the year, driving through Central and South America with my girlfriend, Bailey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent many years bouncing from hostel to hostel - and I loved it. Hostels are a great way to meet fellow interesting travelers; however, sometimes I feel like if you have been to one hostel - you have been to them all. These days I’m more interesting in tapping into the cultures of the area that I’m visiting - and what better way to do that then living and enjoying the company of a local who knows the area better than anyone!

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself very open minded - I’m always open to learn and teach what I can. I have a degree in English Literature and I am happy to help others with writing and reading. Additionally, as an interior designer by trade, I am always willing to provide any insight!
