I'm an adventurer with my head in the clouds. I believe that the places we go, the things we do, and the stories we tell are all a part of this cosmic dance through the universe and I love to share time and space with people from all different backgrounds. If I stay doing one thing for too long, I get restless and need to shake things up. My life is a journey and the best part is that I don't know exactly where I'm going, but I'm loving the ride.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a community of movers and doers and I want to tap into that energy and hopefully share these resources! Everyone on here is so incredible and in my travels I hope to meet awesome people and express my humility and gratitude for their willingness to accommodate or be accommodated by a stranger with the same wandering heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There can't be just one.
Slept on a cliffside. Jumped out of a plane.
Wandered for three weeks around Japan. Got stuck on a mountaintop in a storm. Slept on the street in a city I've never seen before. Ate fresh fish with people on the other side of the world, meanwhile switching between three languages.
Lived in a van in the woods. Hitchhiked through California. And that's just the beginning.

Teach, Learn, Share

What do I want to teach? I want to teach people what I have learned about accepting people and learning from them. I also want to show people that sometimes fear and hesitation are completely products of our environment and that in any moment we can decide to tap into the infinite energy available to us and go after everything we want in life.

I want to learn as much as I can from as many people as I can. I want to learn what life is like in a place I've never been. I want to learn these exotic people's customs and ways of life. Most of all, I want to learn how to be a better person because everyone knows something about this and everyone knows more about something than I ever will.

I want to share time, space, and most importantly, meals!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook, I clean, and I listen! Show me what you do and what you're all about and I will be all too happy to learn and experience it with you! I am equally at home in small groups and in large gatherings. That being said, I am also very independent, and won't trouble you unnecessarily and can operate on my own. I'm a tidy person and am always open to new experiences.
