I'm very out going and easy to get along with because I respect everyone as the unique individual they are. I love eating healthy and staying active. Jiu-jitsu is my main squeeze and my favorite hobby. My other addictions include diving, reading, yoga, eating, biking and learning what new people in my life are passionate about. I'm currently trying to breathe in the scents of the world and wiggle my toes in foreign soils. Always interested in meeting new people and growing my tribe. Let's have long conversations, learn new things and forge a bond that lasts a lifetime :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS because my nomadic spirit desires to see the sights that a local would recommend. I want to connect with intriguing, beautiful souls whilst having the best traveling experience one can acquire. I also intend on training jiu-jitsu as often as possible during my travels. I squirm at the opportunity to enjoy a beach especially if there's good diving conditions. All in all I try to embody a true "go with the flow" mentality, so I remain flexible on what experiences I will actually obtain during my travels.

Interests

Jiu-jitsu reigns supreme in my heart, but anything involving the ocean also makes my heart sing. I aim to see what feats my body is capable of in this lifetime and I am always willing to try new things!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite book cause it gave me the best advice in the Universe: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Truly admire all forms of music. The mood and vibe is how I choose my genre.

Horror films excite me, comedy fuels me, sci-fi sucks me in and I'll turn it off without finishing it if I can feel that it is wasting my time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in the wilds of southeast Alaska on a private yacht for two summers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always eager to share information about our respective cultures. I am only fluent in English, but I love learning new languages so if anyone is willing to teach me anything I will greatly appreciate the effort made. Food is something that connects us all and I will teach what I know and would love to receive local recipes and techniques if possible. I also welcome learning new games that don't involve technology.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always willing to do chores, cook, clean up after myself and any reasonable task that can help my host(s) out. I'm stronger than I look and very diligent. I can offer basic yoga lessons and beginner jiu-jitsu self defense lessons if you're interested. Otherwise, I have endless stories to share and I'm not shy so ask me anything!
