About Me

Food and beverage is not just how I make $$, it's my passion, and I love sharing it with others. Cooking, drinking, dancing. I write. I play piano/sing. I hike, bike, whitewater, and try to live my life to the fullest, y'all!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always looking for adventures!

What drew me to CS is a belief in free culture and sharing that with other people. I've found it's a great way to network and share experiences with fellow lovers of travel, art, music, food, drink, literature, film... Culture in general.

Not much couchsurfing experience with the site, but I've travelled around a lot and I love making new friends in new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

music: anything from Morrissey to Kendrick Lamar. like. all of it. Right now I'm listening to a lot of New Order, Nina Simone, and Merle Haggard.

movies: any movie. even the bad ones. I will watch and enjoy bad movies.

books: I majored in Philosophy so I've read a lot of theory. Now I read a lot of Henry Miller and Ernest Hemingway, and Louis L'Amour since I'm living out west.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Do I have to pick one?

Couple summers ago I got to fly around Denali in a small plane. It was the most perfect clear day. Straight up, Nat Geo. We landed on a glacier and looked up at Denali and I felt so, so, so small.

*Denali as in Alaska, y'all!
