I'm a fairly patient and easy going person. I try not to take myself too seriously. I love music, nature, good beer, and good company. I'm a vegetarian agnostic with a degree in environmental policy. Environmental justice is my passion. I've lived in a co-op for the last two years and I love sharing my life with others and contributing to communal living spaces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people and I love to travel. Couchsurfing seems like a great opportunity to meet people and share experiences.
