I'd consider myself an adventure-seeker. I'm madly in love with humans and permanently struck by wanderlust, though with work I am often less available to explore the world than I'd like.

I love to collect stories and would call myself a writer (though it's a sporadic and inconsistent habit), and secretly I am slightly introverted, though you'd never guess by my bubbly personality. I really enjoy most any outdoor activities, and can often be found camping, hiking, or climbing in my free time.

At present, I’ve just moved cross country and am taking some time to travel internationally. I've been to all but 6 of the continental United States, Canada, the Bahamas, Spain, Paris, Scotland, and Ireland. I love experiencing new cultures and meeting new people. I've attended (and helped host) a few Couch Crashes and love connecting with like-minded folks wherever I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people who share the same values as I do and to be a part of a community. My favorite part about CS is the idea that you can experience a more realistic and less tourist-y side of the places you stay - and when meeting fellow Couchsurfers I have always appreciated the shared opinion that everyone has something to offer. I enjoy sharing stories and adventures with people from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three weeks solo in Southern Spain was one of the most magical adventures I’ve ever been on! Ask me about it. (:

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit about a lot of things. I love to read and have deep conversations about life and our purpose. I like personality things (I'm an ENFP, and Enneagram 2w3!). I am outside most weekends, so would love to go rock climbing, hiking, or exploring with you! Mostly I just look for meaningful conversations, so even if we don't have time to hang out, I'd love to get to know what things in life excite you most.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm open to new experiences and will try anything once. If you need a place to crash, I try to make my home warm and inviting. If I'm visiting you I am more than willing to bring you something fun from wherever I'm living at the moment :)
