Born in New Zealand, grew up near Philadelphia. I finished grad school, started my professional life, and now I'm traveling.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I want to meet people, not go somewhere to watch TV in a hotel room.

Interessen

I'm open minded and open to change. Spare me the "water cooler" conversation and give me something new that makes me feel alive.

The most important thing in my life is relationships... my family, my friends, and even strangers on the street give my life meaning and flavor. I don't walk along staring at the ground avoiding eye contact, I look for connections. I'm good at staying in touch with people I care about.
