About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for dance music lovers to go see Madeon, Audien, and The M Machine with this Saturday night! 4/25. Some of my very favorite DJ's it's gonna be amazing and would be even better going with new friends! Hit me up, let's go!

Working for a bit in D.C. right now before heading out for projects in Tanzania and Ghana this spring/summer. Could potentially host because I have a big hotel room all to myself. Just looking to meet some cool people while i'm here in D.C.

ABOUT ME

I'm someone always looking for a new adventure! One who loves to meet and interact with new people to try and see the world through their eyes. Always down for a pickup game of football. I'm always looking to learn something new. I grew up in Utah, USA a predominantly white community and i'm excited to travel meeting people from all kinds of backgrounds and nationalities. I'm always looking for a good time!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Always enjoy a philosophical discussion. We don't know nearly as much as we think we do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host when able, surf when traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had an awesome time surfing and hosting while living on the East Coast in 2012! Excited to get at it again, hosting if I ever have a stable living area myself, and meeting up whenever I get the chance!

Interests

I'm a lover of the outdoors, the beauty and diversity of our planet. I love the feeling of being a new place for the first time. I'm highly interested in current events from all over the globe and am looking for opportunities to bring these stories home by experiencing them firsthand. I love a good party! EDM. Insomniac. Just went to Coachella -- So legit!

Music, Movies, and Books

EDM! Give me electronic music festival or club and try to keep up! I go ham! :) Let's party together. Life's about being happy and enjoying yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whenever I find myself in a new city, especially a real big city, I look up at the concrete jungle i'm surrounded by and am in awe. On a backpacking trip with my father we were sleeping out at 11,000 feet under the stars, Amazing! Celebrating Holi covered with color and crowd surfing feeling like i'm flying. That was legit. Life's awesome everyday!

Oh, and I climbed active volcanos on Java, Indonesia 3 days in a row! Up way before the sun even thought about coming up! Amazing experiences. Don't know how I managed that third day.. lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn a little spanish. I'm just starting to learn, have a long ways to go, and could use all the help I could get!

Also hoping to learn led gloving. I have a pair I carry with me to practice with. Life's all about making people happy. :)

I can help non-native English speakers practice!!
