CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet random people that may or may not be like me and get to know them while traveling. I seek to awaken myself through other people.

ABOUT ME

I strive to maintain a youthful mentality. I like doing physical things and won't hesitate to be silly, though I can be a little shy at first. 😜 I like running, biking, kayaking, and car camping and long-distance back country hiking. I like rendezvousing with people while they are on adventures. I have grandparents from different countries and became enamored by the idea of foreign travel early on.

I enjoy being a part of visitors' experiences in Detroit and seeing how everything is revitalizing, first hand.

PHILOSOPHY

I didn't always think this way, but I am increasingly understanding that I create my own reality. I try to focus on the positive aspects of everything and it seems to serve me quite well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I ❤ couchsurfers

I first discovered CS while living in Mexico City in 2011. I've met so many amazing couchsurfers. So far, I have mostly been a host. I often brag to everyone about how awesome it is to host traveling strangers in my home. Those that don't do it are missing out in life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail (2,185 miles) over 6 months. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and it changed my life in a positive way. I did it on my own but I met some really awesome people from around the world and U.S. It is a way of life that I discovered and I go back to it a couple times a year. Along the way, I met many loving and generous strangers that opened up their homes to me and inspired me to be that type of CS host.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned a lot of home renovation skills over the years. I can show you how to drywall, install new windows, flooring, strip old wood, and anything electrical!

I can also show you all the gear you would need for a long-distance hike

I can guide a yoga session but I’ve never done it formally

As a host, I enjoy cooking for guests
