I'm a 32-year-old engineer currently living with my partner Amber (who is also on here) in Richmond, VA. I love to explore the outdoors and have a passion for activities like rock climbing, backpacking, hiking, and paddle boarding. In my downtime, I also enjoy going to the movies, reading, and traveling.

I've always been fascinated immersing myself in different cultures and experiencing new places through the eyes of a local. That's why I joined Couchsurfing – to meet interesting people, learn about their cultures, and see the world from a new perspective.

As a host, I can offer a comfortable and welcoming home for travelers looking to explore the city of Richmond. I'm happy to share my knowledge of the best local restaurants, hidden gems, and must-see outdoorsy spots in the area. Whether it's a day hike or a night at the river, I'm always up for an adventure and eager to show guests what makes my city so special.

If you're looking for a friendly and adventurous host in Richmond, don't hesitate to reach out.
