Returning to couch surfing and traveling! Always in search of new friends and new experiences. My dogs name is Emma, she's the best. Basketball is my first love but volleyball has taken its place as my knees have gotten old.

I love movies, hearing great stories, telling them when I can and generally just seeking out new experiences. I play chess, happy to teach anyone who is willing. Will also split a bottle of wine with anyone, anytime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Something different! I end up in cities randomly and would be nice to mix it up and maybe make new friends. I genuinely just enjoy meeting people, swapping stories, and the whole process. You always end up learning something new or at the very least seeing something you've always known from a different perspective.

Interests

I love Basketball as mentioned above, outdoors are always on my agenda. I play chess when I'm feeling nerdy, and if you point me in the direction of a good restaurant we will be friends forever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a bike on a Thursday night. Woke up Friday and rode it from Cincinnati to Indy in a day. Took 17 hours including stops. My shoulders never forgave me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you one of kind dance moves, or how to be good at chess. I'll try almost anything once so I'm open to learn... I'd share the things I've come across in my years and what I have learned along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Home cooked meal, a night on the town, minor household repairs... good stories :)
