I love to learn, be active, and enjoy the present as much as possible. Despite the cliche of following cliches, I embrace phrases like "Do one thing that scares you, each day."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fascinated by sub-cultures, the scenes and activities "off the beaten path," and experiencing all things authentic. I believe that one of the best ways to do all these things, is to get to know new people. The experiences that people share in a setting like Couchsurfing are the one's they are truly passionate about, and are the most inspiring to others.
