I'm a former non-profit fundraising manager, turned freelance writer--mostly so I could see as much of this beautiful country and world as I can!

"Amazing at fetch"--My neighbor's dog

"Pretty okay"--My mom

"Blueberry pie isn't a breakfast food, Matt"--My Childhood best friend

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling the country for a paid writing project. Collecting other people's stories--maybe yours if you'd like to share it--and writing about the experience. The world has proven incredibly kind on this trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Does this hitchhiking the US thing count? I feel like it does. I also almost set the course record at a putt-putt golf place once, too. I feel like that's amazing too. I got a cool pink ball and mini-putter. We'll call it a tie.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm easy going, easy to talk to, and always prepared with stories from my adventures and the people I have met. I'm also a pretty effective cleaner/handyman, so if you need some help with household chores, don't be afraid to ask.
