I am a freegan, meaning I try to make as little waste as possible. I eat Vegan for many reasons, but if food is getting thrown out or going to waste, I eat it. I'm a big fan of free stuff/less waste.

I love hosting new friends, however I respond much more positively to personalized requests. It shows you will be thoughtful of my space if you are thoughtful of my time!

I am passionate about conservation and sustainability. I want to help people and make the world a better place. I love experiencing different cultures and seeing different things around the world. Meeting new people is awesome and you never know when you will meet friends. I love having fun and am honest. Love trying new things. My roommate and I couchsurfed twice and they were good experiences so I want to help out fellow travelers. My roommate hosts as well and will likely be here if you stay here.. He's a jolly good lad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think life is fun when you are in motion and constantly doing new things.

I am hoping to meet people from all around the world to create a greater sense of community. I like people helping people and I'd love to help out travelers passing by when I can.
