I am 25 years old from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I enjoy things such as cooking, hiking, conversation and actually I am usually down for whatever others want to do. Preferably I enjoy hanging out with people in a quiet environment as yelling over loud music when hanging out with friends is not ideal but I have been known to go out on the town for beers. If I do go out a club with good music and a dance floor appeals to me very much but not for the sake of catching up with a friend, more to move my body and dance the stress of life away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm taking a trip from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States and I want to meet people all along the way as well as I'm ballin on a budget.

Interests

I am interested in learning about people's experiences. I am an animal lover and very partial to my little gray cat, Luna Belle. I am easy going so I can find joy and interest in everything, there is no limit to my interests. I practice yoga and meditation and hiking is also a great joy of mine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy instrumental music a lot from classical to jazz to covers. More to say about what I don't enjoy and that would be the current country music situation..really...how is it still thriving? I am currently reading Margaret Atwood's trilogy, MaddAddam and absolutely love it. Anything that has to do with post apocalyptic earth intrigues me as well as mysteries and also I enjoy reading on philosophy.
For movies I am drawn towards independent films and not big blockbusters because again, as with country music, so basic. Not all blockbusters are bad though, Lucy was incredible as are some others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With hosts I can teach some yoga or listen to your life story or clean your kitchen, I can cook for you or act as though I am not there as not to bother you.
