About Me

I am from a village close to the Canadian border nestled in the middle of the largest state park in the US. I have a huge blended family with 7 siblings and a small town community that keep me grounded.

I just left my job as a Senior Design Engineer for a solar company in the US to explore and take a step back. I had been living in Boston for 7 years and jumping from one career ladder rung to the next. I quickly realized after college, that it wasn’t for me and am looking for my next inspiration. I am thinking about apprenticeships in carpentry, electrical, culinary, and agriculture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I quit my job and am traveling throughout Europe for the rest of the year 🚊
