*27, not 29. Not sure why CouchSurfing got it wrong.

Adventure loving fitness enthusiast.

I love new experiences, whether it is new sights, travel, culture, food, language, or even unconventional conversation.

I love to laugh, and make others laugh. The world would be much nicer if everyone laughed a little more.

On a heavier note, I think its important to identify what drives people to do the things they do, and behave the way the behave. I'm still trying to define that purpose for me, but I do know plainly that I want to make every effort to leave the planet a better place than when I first joined it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is awesome. New conversations are awesome.

Learning through others and their experiences in incredibly enriching, and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn.
