*Currently on a 7 month world tour with my partner, Matthew. Our itinerary: Georgia, Armenia, Pakistan, Oman, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. We hope to meet lots of locals and fellow travelers.*

Current mission: Explore the world.
Philosophy: Try everything twice.

We both enjoy hitchhiking, couchsurfing, hostels and other forms of budget backpacking, finding it to be a unique way to meet people and understand a culture. Here because we want to make connections with people who are willing to share their thoughts.

Our interests include: rock climbing, hiking, cycling, dancing, art museums, FOOD, history and learning languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The local experience! People are what makes a country special. I want to know more about how other people live. There is so much to learn about life from others.

I've met incredible people on the road and I think of my hosts as friends, not acquaintances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done...well it would take forever to tell all my stories. Here's a few things.

I hitch-hiked and slept on the beach for a week in Turkey with my CS host.

I was invited to a party of sorts (thrown for my benefit) in Vietnam and communicated with hand signals. I even attempted to sing Vietnamese karoke!

I was on a train for two days straight in India and never left it once. More importantly, during this ride
I was invited by a family to share all their meals.

Snorkeling with sharks and penguins in the Galapagos!

Reuniting with a Brazilian friend for Carnival in Salvador that I met on Couchsurfing in Germany!

Attending a wedding between two couchsurfers in Pune, India!
