I’m an optimist and idealist at heart, who loves live music and deep conversations. By day I’m a strategy and operations consultant for food & bev cpg, adding momentum to social impact and sustainability driven companies. Taking out the jargon, I really care about working to help people and the environment! I’m taking a year of remote work to travel: destinations have been guided in part by weddings, and in part by my passion to learn innovative sustainability, biodynamic, and/or regenerative practices. The latter brought me to Denmark & Sweden!

Afterward I’m heading to Albania then Morocco, and finally home for Thanksgiving 🌽🦃

*IMPORTANT*
I’m in a relationship and looking only for friendships and new perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet different people and experience a destination more deeply! I heard it’s a great way to meet a diverse array of people and learn unexpected things so I’m trying it out!

I’ve mostly met other travelers while traveling, so I’d like to have more interactions with actual residents of the places I visit.
