I met this older Irish man on a plane, who bought me a beer and taught me "you might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb." His words have become my mantra, as I constantly look for meaning in life while giving it back as much as I can!

I am a recent graduate on the prevailing road towards the next great experience. I finished with degrees in mathematics and international studies, so my interests are pretty diverse. I love stories, old things, dark beer, dry wine, long hikes, architecture, street art, and things that grow. I live to explore, challenge myself, and acquire as much knowledge as possible. I believe that incredible food and a strong cup of coffee can create as much inspiration as a great conversation. I am also an adrenaline junkie, ready to make some great memories that might freak out my family later.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love finding the weird hidden treasures of any place I am traveling, tasting the best of its food, and hearing all its local legends. I want to see the things that make a place special and unique to the people living there. Hearing their stories, beliefs, interests, and ideas adds a whole new life to any venture. Plus, I am always game for meeting new people and going on some crazy adventures.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: I am a pretty avid classic rock lover. Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac are my current favorites. I also will listen to alot of modern rock and alternative, with a soft spot for country music.

Movies: I love classics, dramas, cheesy 80s flicks, James Bond, sci-fi, fantasies, Monty Python, and really anything with an amazing story, some witty humor, that challenges the mind, and is visually inspiring.

Books: I have been a dedicated Harry Potter fan since age 8. Other favorites include murder mysteries (especially anything written by Agatha Christie), classic literature, and some fantasy novels.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've had a collection of very different, but amazing experiences the last few summers.

I spent one summer interning for the U.S. legislature and spent most of my spare time roaming the hallways and basement passageways of the Capitol. I discovered a lot of its history, art, ghost stories, and some hidden secrets.

The following summer I spent living in Russia, studying the language, drinking amazing Georgian wine, and kayaking down the Volga river.

Then, last summer, I lived in a camper for three months, exploring some of the most stunning places in Wyoming, and teaching kids about environmental conservation, archery, and bears.

教，学，和分享

Most anything that you find worthy of sharing, I want to know about. I am always eager to learn and make new, exciting memories. I am especially obsessed with food and want to try anything.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My experience living in the least populated state and one of the most natural areas of the U.S., a strong penchant for food, a lot of smiles, some wishful sarcasm, and a love for conversation.
