I love meeting people! Having exciting friendships is important to me. I feel drawn to all kinds of people and places. I'm easy going and very interested in how people live their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A wonderful woman in Weed, Ca gave me a spot for a week. She is amazing. A nice guy in Beaverton, Or hosted me for a weekend.
I stayed in both Castro Valley and San Leandro with terrific families in the spring.
I've now stayed with a great hosts in Germany, France and Spain. Can't wait to have more visits with fellow travelers and just good peeps in general.
I've had wonderful experiences in Manchester on CS.

Been off the app for someone but open to hosting in SD.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent three months in Guatemala, spending time in beautiful Antigua. While there, I got to experience the local lifestyle and briefly volunteered at a nutrition center holding malnourished babies while they recovered. I have a passion for that country and hope to see South American countries specifically Peru and Chile this winter. Let me know if you want to go together.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach English at some point.
Also, I'd like to continue studying Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics when I return from traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to eat meals together. I'm very happy to go for walks and have long chats. Being part of the household is lovely and appealing. I like to grocery shop and create healthy meals. I'm totally interested in hearing about new cultures.
