Hey there- I’m an American born, world wide traveler, and love to meet locals and get a better taste of local cultures than just your average tourist. I love to hike, bike, kayak, snowboard, surf, dive... really any adventure outside! But I also like to go out, socialize, try different food or bars, and see what the local community is all about as well.
All in all, I’m really easy to get along with and always go with the flow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always on the move and eager and excited to make local and traveling friends!! I would be HYPED to meet some awesome people to show me around and future friends to travel with!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most music, but recently have been into Bluegrass, Big Horn Bands, and some Ska and Reggae. I would love to see Fat Freddy’s Drop while abroad- since they never tour the US. As far as movies, I’m a sucker for a good comedy. And for books, I’ve been exploring a lot of eastern philosophy lately, but have been more into Podcasts lately as well- especially some powerful storytelling (Snap Judgement) or psychological podcasts (Hidden Brain).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently switched to Seasonal Work, where I get to do lots of amazing things 6 months at a time! I've worked at ski resorts, expedition cruises, kid’s adventure summer camps, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve taught a lot of adventure camps for kids, where I taught them how to mountain bike, stand up paddle board, canoe, kayak, and rock climb. I've also traveled enough to know quite a bit about different countries and cultures.
And honestly, anything you're willing to teach, sounds amazing! Haha. I just love to absorb new information. And it would be great to learn more about any local activities, history, geography, and culture of anywhere I travel too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good laughs, deep conversations, exciting travel stories, and an adventure buddy! :D I am always respectful and genuinely curious about new people and experiences.
