Hi!

I'm in the middle of a world trip heading west from New York until I ended up back home! Hoping to make it last around 18 months, but you can never plan such things too accurately.

I've been in love with travel ever since my study abroad in New Zealand back in college. I love seeing new places but even more so meeting amazing people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is the people that make a place beautiful over anything else. I want to broaden my perspective and that happens when I get the opportunity to hang out with kind, positive, open-minded people from a totally different background than mine. What better place to find such people than on Couchsurfing!

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts of music, but especially anything with a funky, groovy beat. Otherwise it just depends on the mood! Always looking for good movie and book suggestions of any genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with a bale of sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands, seriously more than I could count!

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, yes, and yes! By the way, you can't do any single one of these well without doing the other two at the same time.

I have tutored for over 10 years in all kinds of different things (math, music, how to drive a manual, etc.) and am always happy to share any of my knowledge or skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughs, smiles, beers, karma, a reinforcement of the belief that people are inherently good and loving.
