I've had a Couchsurfing Account since 2012 and am just now utilizing it. By traveling I seek to meet new people and adventure. I am more interested in exploring smaller towns and cities, with nature, good music, and friendly people. I would describe myself as down-to-earth, kind, observant, social, but introverted enough to need alone time to charge my extroversion battery. I love cats, dogs cute too, and enjoy reading, so book suggestions are always welcome. I'm sober by choice and have no problem being around others who aren't, I just might have an earlier bed time then everyone else on a Friday night (unless I have expresso shots and you can convince me to go out dancing, or to a concert, which is highly likely, given that I will 100% dance my ass off to some great music. I can show you around LA if you want to adventure and during times I'm not hosting I would still absolutely like to explore with Couchsurfers and introduce you to cool spots.
