Hi! I'm a recent college graduate interested in exploring the world more. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing the piano, singing, and writing. I'm also a huge fan of food and cooking!

Some long term goals of mine are to...
- Complete an Ironman Triathlon: 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run
- Publish a book (probably a children's picture book or something for young adults)
- Produce and record an album of original songs
- Learn a second language
- Live as a digital nomad
- Start a podcast
- Create my own brand of hot sauce :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know locals in the different parts of the world I travel to. I love the idea of sharing stories about my home and learning more about local cultures.

I also just love meeting new people in general, despite being shy at first!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite fiction books are the Oryx and Crake trilogy that Margret Atwood created. In terms of non-fiction, I really enjoyed Nassim Taleb's Antifragile and Steven Pressfield's The War of Art.

I love documentary and animated films: Free Solo, Minimalism, Disney, and anything Hayao Miyazaki.

Jon Bellion, Chance the Rapper, and Ed Sheeran are some of my favorite musicians.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a 10K on a trail the day after a snowstorm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we are all born with a duty to create, but the obstacles we face throughout live forms a barrier of Resistance that causes us to shy away from our authentic selves. However, through facing the challenges that are holding us back, we can all realize our full potential and thereby achieve peace and actualization.
