ABOUT ME

I recently returned from a round-the-world journey. It was the time of my life, and I can attribute much of my success to CS hosts. These individuals showed me the best of their cities and lent a perspective that I could not have otherwise experienced. Hopefully, this trip is just the beginning of a lifetime of travel. I'm a fan of adventure, even if that just means trying something for the first time that is outside my comfort zone. I love sports. Enjoy music. I find people interesting. Even if we share few common interests, we can have a good time and learn from each other. I've grown a lot from my travels and hope to continue to pay it forward to those who plan on visiting California as soon as I am able.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not much for quotes, but I try to maintain a positive outlook. We have one life to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never hosted since I registered just before departing California. I joined to get that local perspective of cities that most hostels can't offer. I'm on CS because I think this idea of welcoming strangers into your home is awesome. I hope to get the opportunity to reciprocate the favor in the future.

I have had great hosts in Jakarta, Purwokerto, Yogyakarta, Madiun, Denpasar, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Siem Reap, Sibiu, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Leuven, and Valencia.
