I'm a California native working and traveling in Europe. I'm sort of a quiet person, but I have a good sense of humor, I'm polite, and only a little bit clumsy. If I'm visiting you, I'd love to chat and hear a local's take on what life is like in your city/country, and likewise, if you're visiting me, I'm happy to show you around and give you a taste of my culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first Couchsurfing experience wasn't all that long ago. A friend and I were traveling in Morocco, and we got in contact with a few hosts. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by how welcoming they were and what wonderful conversations we had. I realized that it's about more than finding a place to crash. There's a potential for real and lasting friendship and a traveling experience unlike anything you could find elsewhere.

In short, I'm here to meet travelers and to meet cool people while I travel. What else?
