I love to travel and I'm finally at a point in my career where I have more time to do it. I love being outdoors and think the best way to explore somewhere new is on foot. I spend my free time running, hiking, doing yoga, cooking, reading, playing with my dog, and taking improv and art classes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do a lot of solo travel and would like to meet other likeminded people to learn about the local culture, explore the area, and have fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music, but have an affinity for acoustic folksy sounds like Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Elliot Smith. Some indie stuff too: Belle & Sebastian, Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel, Glass Animals, Pavement, etc.

I don't watch a lot of movies or TV shows, but do a appreciate a good laugh or documentary. Every once in awhile I like to get into a drama.

I just started reading more consistently and tend to rely on recommendations from other people. Recently read Following Atticus, The Gilded Years, The Reader, The Great Gatsby and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I also gravitate toward nonfiction books about philosophy and psychology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too modest to even know how to answer this question. Need to think about it some more...
