ABOUT ME

Explorer. Scientist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles. ” I have met some of my closest friends through the shared experience and perspective shifts that travel affords.

I like to meet people who want to immerse themselves in the culture of a place rather than ticking off the list of must-see sights.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm easy going and relaxed about travel and I let the experience take me rather than making very detailed itineraries or specific plans. Because I am interested in so many things I find it easy to relate to lots of different people. I can share cooking skills and a love for the outdoors and arts.
