I grew up in South Florida and have since lived in various spots across the country including Alaska, Oregon, and most recently Yellowstone National Park. I'm interested in experiences that will challenge me and expand my view of the world and its global community.

I enjoy spontaneity and the challenges of life/ travel. I spend a decent amount of time reading about current events and issues that concern me. In my free time I like to write, explore, go dancing, cycling, check out art exhibits, and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm traveling with "2666" by Roberto Bolaño and "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chödrön. Some of my favorite books are South With Scott, Savage Detectives, White Oleander, On The Road, Labyrinths, and Book Of Questions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Road tripped from Florida to Alaska in 2014.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences traveling and working seasonally, and give tips to anyone looking to work seasonally. I was pretty decent at baking before I fled civilization, I'd like to think I can still show someone a thing or two about that.

I'm interested in learning about other people and their cultures, as well as the problems affecting different cities in America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories, book recommendations, cooking ideas, and remote job info among other things.
