ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I'm an easygoing, cheerful soul looking to make friends and connect with new people. I just graduated from Stanford, with a degree. But most of my knowledge comes from life and my own exploration.

I've couch-surfed before while riding my bike from my home in Colorado to the Atlantic ocean during a gap year between high school and college. The people I met during those times were definitely a highlight of the trip (trips, actually. I did the ride twice. Long story.)

I'm quiet and generally tend to lay low, putting a priority on not overstaying my welcome and making sure that I'm respectful of my host's generosity at all times. I have some experience hosting travelers myself, as I've lived in a few coops during my time at Stanford, and we always have a menagerie of interesting characters stopping by our couches.

I would love to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Change and grow, move and bend. Above all, keep learning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am teaching myself to create music and poetry right now -- so I love learning from those more expert than I. I'm also fascinated by botany and mycology and always looking for people to learn from in that space.

I feel like I am still a learner in most things.
