About Me

I am passionate about learning and living to the fullest! I studied economics and philosophy at university but I love literature and history. I hope to spend my life helping others through business. Lived and traveled around the world and have too many hobbies. Grew up in restaurants so I love to cook and do it all the time and would love to cook with you! Sailing/traveling around Europe during July (and possibly longer)! Looking for hosts, or friends to connect with! Thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first joined couchsurfing because it seemed like an inexpensive way to travel but after my first surf, which happened to be with a true couchsurfing hero and community member, I realized that couchsurfing is far more than just a matter of saving money. It is an opportunity for totally different people to meet with each other and share our lives, learn from one another, and go on wild adventures, making family all around the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Himalayas for seven days in the dead of winter and built (am still sort of building..) my 1974 Honda cb450 motorcycle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook like a fiend and (unless I'm completely and utterly broke) I'll buy you beer. I can also fix broken stuff around your house, write you poetry, and respect your space and stuff.
