Hi there friends and future friends! Whether I'm traveling or you are looking for a place to stay, I'd love to meet you. I'm passionate about sustainable and approachable travel that creates cultural exchange and the sharing of ideas and broadening of world views. I've lived throughout the US and aim to visit every continent by the time I turn 30.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love approachable, yet authentic travel. I believe very strongly that the best way to travel is to get a true feeling of the place, culture, and people you encounter. I'm hoping to use Couchsurfing as a way to find those opportunities when traveling and to create those opportunities for people I host.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of different kinds of music -- sad folk, peppy singer songwriter, angsty rock, ambient electronic, etc. I'm always looking for new music, so let me know what you're loving listening to right now.

Documentaries are always my favorite films. (I would love to work on a travel, biographical, or socially conscious doc one day.) I will totally laugh along with a comedy or hide under a blanket while a group of friends watches a horror movie.

Books are life. Kerauoc and Ginsberg are my loves. Tell me about poetry, biographies, horoscopes, and fortune cookie fortunes that pique your interest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very easy to get along with. My goal for staying with you is to get to know cool people and learn a bit about life in your home city. If I reach out to you with a request, I think you're a quality person and would like to hang out while I'm in your area. I can also cook up a mean dinner (or breakfast or drunk food) for you and your friends as a thank you for hosting.
