I'm an American who values traveling and new experiences! I am currently living in Genova thru Nov. 2025 to work on my Italian speaking. Let’s hang out! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found Couchsurfing when I was backpacking in Europe because it helped me connect with locals and travelers to explore the city together. I got to make new friends and suddenly traveling alone wasn't lonely. I always come here when I travel to meet new people while abroad.

Interests

I love rock climbing!! Also, travel, pottery/craft and music among other things. I enjoy good company over drinks, good conversation and maybe games. When I go out, I'm more of a bar-fly than a club-goer, but enjoy that too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to rock, alternative, and metal mostly, but sometimes other things like indie or bluegrass. To name a few, I love Alex G, Petey, The National, Between the Buried and Me, Manchester Orchestra, Jeff Buckley, Andrew Bird, La Dispute, Radiohead, St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, and more!

I'm also really into fantasy, like Lord of the Rings. I'm currently reading Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked through Europe by myself for 6 months in 2016.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's cook together! I have a few recipes up my sleeve, but I love experimenting.

Also, in between the "excitement" and "adventure," I love thought-provoking discussions on philosophy, religion, music, politics, and life in general.
