Hedonist, reader, writer, friend interested in music, books, people, learning about myself and others. Plurality of experience is the most important thing to me in life and I find when traveling the biggest part of this is interacting with people who actually live there. It's easy enough to find the best museums and restaurants and concerts but not so much to find the best people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly when I travel I stay with friends, but this has restricted me to places where my friends live. Couchsurfing lets me meet more people who are like my friends in more places I haven't been to. You may be one of these people!
