I am a born-and-raised Wisconsinite. My favorite things in the world are music, my friends and family, taking trips, water, finding ways to beat the Sunday blues, pizza, my cat, Blake, dancing around, and writing crappy songs for my friends to help me sing and record.

I feel lucky to have the means and ability to travel and to meet people in places that aren't my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing for travel purproses, both across the US and abroad. I even got lucky and found a roommate via CS when I moved to a new city. I hope to be in a position soon where I am able to host guests and pay forward all of the kindness and hospitality shown to me throughout my travels.
