About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet as many people as I can and become well rounded

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious person, who likes to experience new things, from food, to exploring a new place, to discovering someone's life story. More and more, I find myself spending my free time researching ways I can go to the next new place and what I can add to my bucket list.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I have yet to host or be hosted, but I have met up with a dozen or so people from all around the world from couchsurfing while on trips. It has been a great experience to talk with people with vastly different experiences and points of view. I hope to continue meeting more people!

Interests

the outdoors! hiking, cycling, dirtbiking, camping and the like. I like to get a full picture of wherever I go, so I also enjoy walking around admiring architecture, people watching and history. I also enjoy trying new places to eat. The more strange and complex the better. Sometimes I do some graphic art and photography, though I am definitely an amateur.
I think it's fascinating to have a conversation with people around the world and figure out what people bond over and the things that are unique to a culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

climbing a small mountain in Spain, and looking out at the vista.
swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii
ascending stone temple pyramids in Belize
50 mile backpacking trip in oregon
walking along the cliffs of Moher in Ireland

can anyone choose just one?
