I'm a writer and editor with chronic travel bug. Endless curiosity is what drives me. My grandmother has called me a "vagabond" because I move around a lot, though I think she just doesn't understand kids these days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling, I operate according to the motto: "do as the locals do." Couchsurfing helps make that easier, helps us step into another's world and get a feeling for what it's like to walk in their shoes, if only for a day. That's a particularly important experience in our day and age, if you ask me.
