About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hi future friends! I am about to embark on a wonderful 1 1/2 month trek around SE Asia. I'm starting in Vietnam and hoping to find some one that wants to motorbike from north to south with me! After that I'm meeting up with a friend in Cambodia but we would love to make new friends along our trek to Laos, Thailand and Myanmar as well!

ABOUT ME

I'm 26 but will be turning 27 on October 27th and at that point will hopefully be in my 27th country! I grew up in Boise, Idaho, called Colorado home for some time, and am currently working in the yachting Industry. (Meaning I work on big boats.) That also means that my job requires me to clean with immaculate detail and cook for people that have way to much money. That being said, I make an awesome host and an easy to live with guest.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to laugh. I love to dig deep in meaningful conversation. And I'm always respectful. I am a Christian but respect all religions and love all peoples. I can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new friends that hopefully stay apart of me. I love meeting someone in one place and meeting up with them in another. I'm not only looking for couches, but for dance partners, dining mates, and happy hour enthusiasts! Let's ride bikes around the city and yes, I'd love to check out your best friends shop they just opened.

Interests

Anything to get my outdoors! Hike, bike, camp, swim, kayak, yoga, WHATEVER! I'm into arts and crafts and we all need our down time. I don't mind some Netflix here and there or being introduced to a good movie.

Music, Movies, and Books

Live music you say? I'll go! To anything! But my favorites are reggae, underground hip-hop, folk, and bluegrass. But anything with a good beat or lyrics I can jive to, I'm in! And I'm always game to experience something new. I'm not a big movie buff, I enjoy them but TV isn't a huge part of my life. I just finished the Celestine Prophecy by Jame Redfield and I highly suggest reading it. I'm not a huge reader but if I find something that intrigues me of course I'll give it a go. I love my
Journal and writing poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove a motor bike around the entire island of Bali by myself. 435 Km or 635 miles! Talk about butt hurt...ha!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to French braid your hair and make hemp jewelry. I can also teach you how to speak gibberish (it's an actual thing) and how to edit your GoPro footage to make movies! I would love to learn how to play the ukulele, and any language tips would be greatly appreciated! I love to share stories, dance moves, and music. Let's explore what we know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to bring something to everyone that hosts me. Be it a bottle of wine, a token from home, or if you allow it, I'd love to cook you dinner. I hope we can both share a little part of our story and when ever you are in my part of the world, I will always share my home too.
