I can confidently say that I have the travel bug and I believe life is too short to be content with staying put in one place. I like learning about places and people through experience rather than reading about it. You can say I like being hands-on. I'm easy going, musically eclectic and naturally curious to learn about other people's travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometime this year I found myself in a story swapping conversation with my co-workers, sharing experiences about breathtaking places we've all been to and the people we've met during our travels in the United States. It was at that point I realized how little I knew about my own country. I made it a summer mission of mine to see as many states as I can and meet wonderful people along the way before summer's end.
