I float around a lot, always looking for new friends, new jokes, and new ideas. Energetic, upbeat, crazily dressed. Let's go out dancing or talk all night, do some yoga or drink a bunch of coffee just to see what happens. Possibility and adventure are always there for those ready to find them.

When I'm not traveling, I live in a cooperative community of about a hundred people. We eat together, work together, and collectively share our lives and (some of) our possessions. In this way I have found a huge family, and I am always looking to make it even bigger.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like people and their stories. I like seeing the inside of the places I visit, living in cities as they are meant to be lived in and not as they appear to outsiders. Tourism bores me. Besides, there is no better way to build a relationship than to share a home and a meal with someone.
