I am a twenty something CPA living in California for the last eight years, currently Newport Beach. I grew up between the United States and New Zealand, and perhaps as a result, have a insatiable desire to travel. I am currently taking time away from my corporate career to explore, and am most immediately bound for Eastern Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling solo, and have no plan and no schedule :) I plan to both couch surf and stay in hostels in attempt to meet fun and interesting people, and have memorable experiences. I feel that the unique advantage to couch surfing is the ability to meet and stay with locals, and experience the true culture of the area.

Interests

I am an avid athlete (played rugby in college), and particularly enjoy surfing as of late. I make a serious effort to travel, and have visited over thirty countries. I love food, and am always on the lookout for a the local dish. I have to try I am up to try just about anything, and go just about anywhere!
