I'm a cocktail creator and writer with a taste for craft beers, old school sci-fi, and hideously patterned shirts. I love to talk, travel, and throw myself into any weird and wonderful adventures that come my way.

If I'm hosting you, then mi casa es tu casa, as they say in Mandarin.

My current mission is a solo trip around the Mojave desert and Sierra Nevada - I survived the desert, now on to the mountains!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, experience their culture, and try their beer: if I'm going somewhere, nothing beats making some new friends while I'm there!

Lay on a lava floe in Iceland and watched the Northern Lights in the sky.
