I'm a fairly shy person early on, but open up quickly when I feel secure. I can be goofy and have a quirky sense of humor. I cook/bake for those I really care about (or people I think would truly enjoy it). I would at a Scottish Bakery and currently live with my parents (thanks, economy!). I'm usually up for anything and am an open book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like many, I have the dreams of traveling but am living on a tight budget. And when I do travel, I usually stay at a hotel with a stuffy concierge (or none at all, haha) who lacks warm and genuine interest. I look forward to broadening my horizons with the site and connecting with those who are interested in showing the best parts of their city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed alone in Ireland for a month subletting a 200 year old stone cottage in Donegal county.

Teach, Learn, Share

Working at a Scottish bakery has afforded me the opportunity to learn myriad of new cooking skills. I can make haggis from beginning to end, black pudding and link sausages, and I've develop a love for meat cutting and butchery.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A genuine lust for travel and sightseeing paired with a few great home-cooked meals as a "thank you."

Countries I’ve Visited
