I grew up in Pinckney, Michigan, USA and attended Michigan State University from 2009 to 2015, graduating cum laude with degrees in history and secondary education. Grad school is in the future at some point, but there are Things To Do before then.

I am easygoing and I've been told I'm a good conversationalist. Someone called me witty once but then they ran away so I'm not sure who it was or if they had the right person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling through Southeast Asia for the next couple months, and would love to meet up with you if you are a local. Human connections are one of the biggest draws of traveling, at least for me.

Interests

Writing, music, and movies are big ones. Being a writer or professor would be awesome.

Music, Movies, and Books

Heavy metal is the core of my musical preference, but I also love hip hop and bluegrass. When it comes to movies and TV, the nerdier the better. Even with my history degree I could probably tell you more about the history of Westeros than of North America. Doctor Who is one of the best shows ever created.

Cormac McCarthy is my favorite author, bar none. Vladimir Nabokov is a solid second, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked two jobs, took five classes, maintained an active social life, and received a 3.8 GPA for two consecutive semesters. I could make a list for you of how this differs from an ice pick lobotomy, but there wouldn't be enough items on the list to justify its existence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what this means.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I tell more stories than your grandpa after a cup of strong coffee. Hopefully they are good. Maybe they aren't. I will also buy you beer.

Lay down the ground rules when we meet and they will be respected without exception. Your house, your rules.
