Spent 2018 traveling NZ, OZ, most of Europe, and South America. 40 Countries and counting!

Very fortunate to have a job that pays for most of my travels and places to stay. If I don't send you a message specifically about staying with you, chances are I already have a hotel and just want to hang and explore your city.

Pay it forward practitioner. Love to climb, bike, snowboard, and sip on a good whiskey.

Also, I love having pictures to remember my travels and people I meet by, but I'm so "in the moment" most times that I forget to take any. If we meet up to explore your city or grab some drinks, please remind me that we should take at least one picture together. Haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is such an amazing community of people, and I love meeting people with different perspectives and exciting stories.

The best way to discover a new city/culture/language is with a local! I'm also very open to exploring with other travelers. Let's discover a new place together!

Looking to help people get the most out of their travels, and hopefully find the same in return.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not picking just one.

3-Week solo road trip across the USA in 2017, filled with fun activities including camping, hiking, rock climbing, snow mobiling, snowboarding, and couchsurfing! (Update: I've now made similar trips 3 times. If I didn't have so much fun in between, I'd already be living in The Rockies.)

3 weeks of backpacking Italy and Greece with my best friend from grade school.

6 US National Parks in 7 days with my best friend. Soooo much hiking and driving was done in that week. We also got to see the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017 from the path of totality!!! (If I HAD to pick 1 thing, it would have been that.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love introducing people to rock climbing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I never get to cook because I travel so much for work, but it's something I love to do. If you've got a kitchen, I'll happily make a meal with you! I can teach you how to rock climb or snowboard, and we can trade travel stories until the sun comes up.
