Current Mission: Newly graduated and trying to figure myself out a little. Maybe grad school next? Maybe the Foreign Service? BA in International Relations, just trying to figure out what to do with it. Currently riding my bicycle from Columbus, Ohio to Montreal, Quebec. Then maybe around the US from there. I first got on Couchsurfing when I was doing a 2600mile bike tour to raise money for cancer research (hence the profile picture). I biked from Columbus to Pensacola, Florida, to New Orleans, Louisiana, and back to Columbus, Ohio. Along the way I slept in churches, parks, and did A LOT of couchsurfing. Everyone I met gave me experiences I will never forget. ABOUT ME: I love cycling, backpacking, jazz, gin, playing music, camping, cooking greasy breakfasts, but I don't like long lists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is something about meeting new people that I love. Couchsurfers are so warm and open to new experiences. Ultimately, the real reason I am on here is because it is the cheapest, best way to experience a new city. Locals know how to do it better. Plain and simple

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bet I could beat you in a corn-on-the-cob eating contest

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fix your bike and teach you how to play a scale on a guitar!
I would like to learn how to make a good bread dough.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll take dishes to the sink. I will make my bed when I get up in the morning :)

I'll share a joke or two if you let me. I can also lend a helping hand while I'm staying with you. Have a lawn to mow? Have some dishes to get done? Have a dog that needs walked? No problem! It's the least I can do for the hospitality you have shown by hosting me!
