Chill Midwesterner who loves exploring and experiencing new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After taking a break from more serious travel for a few years, I'm ready to explore some new places! Solo travel is my most likely option these days, so I'd love to take advantage of the opportunity to get exploring tips, meeting some cool new people, and (biggest concern!) keep my budget intact.

Interests

I spend most of my free time reading and watching movies, as well as getting some exercise (bonus if it's being active outside!). Aside from that, I love wandering the city, trying out new things, and learning as much as possible.

Fun facts: I once participated in a charity date auction and host bar trivia once a week.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is completely dependent on my mood and varies a ton. I devour as many books and movies as possible, but my long-standing faves are Memento & Happy Gilmore (yep), and Stiff & The Time Traveler's Wife.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed a four-month-long solo road trip around the United States.

Teach, Learn, Share

After almost eight years in the city, I've become quite the pro at enjoying Boston on the cheap.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enthusiastic sous chef (big fan of chopping, dicing, and mincing) and dishwasher extraordinaire. Happy to help pull my weight and repay your generosity however I can. At the absolute least, I'm a quiet, clean, and respectful guest.
