Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, though several places around the world bring the word "home" to mind. Traveling and experiencing other cultures has been such an integral part of my development as an adult and Couchsurfing has definitely had a big role in starting some of that. For awhile, I would spend several months living in a new state/country before finding somewhere else to hangout for a bit. It's been a few years of stability now which is forcing me to realize that maybe I just travel more often for shorter periods instead of uprooting everything every few months. And that's okay too! I'm a writer & photographer but usually pay my bills through the service industry. Also a huge film nerd. I watch a ton, manage a movie theater, and have made a few features of my own. Looking to meet more people from all over the world and share knowledge, stories, and definitely meals.
