If you want to stay with me (+ my partner), read my whole profile... I'll know if you haven't ;)

I’ve traveled to 28 countries and 36 US states. I’m originally from Minneapolis and I've lived in Los Angeles for 4 years. I moved to Madrid, Spain in October 2024!

I love sustainability, meeting new people and cultures, and social activism. I love to do paint by numbers, cook, play guitar and sing, and play pool (I’m not very good though lol). I’m a city girl through and through. I love piercings and tattoos and I have many :)

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Religion, Gender, and Wellness, and I'm a musician and a certified postpartum birthworker as well! I've done a certification in Software Engineering and I have worked as a professional matchmaker for several years :)

Aprendo español والعربية :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people! I've been using it for a several years now and I've met the most fantastic people worldwide. I have been lucky to stay in many people’s homes and meet a lot of really cool people at meetups. I've been a budget traveler for a long time and I support helping people when they need a hand. Everyone should be able to travel regardless of income!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love horror movies and anything Halloween! Reality TV and conspiracy documentaries are also my fav. But my number 1 favorite of all time is Grey’s Anatomy, which I’ve seen all the way through four times. Sex and the City is also a favorite! I have a cosmopolitan tattoo for Carrie Bradshaw haha

I’m a fan of indie rock (check out my band ‘girlfriend on the moon’), country music, and singer-songwriter. There’s not much music I don’t like though :)

I love memoirs. I love also reading books about and written by lesbians. I like political education books, both historical and modern-day, and feminist books are some of my favorite things to read. Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors, and I’ve read everything she’s written several times. I’m super active on Goodreads!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sun set behind the Taj Mahal, ziplined in Guatemala, visited the Vatican on Easter Sunday! I have been lucky to have done so many amazing things!
