CURRENT MISSION

looking to explore the world and meet interesting new people

ABOUT ME

i am currently backpacking around southeast asia in an effort to better understand the world around me. i was working a corporate job in san francisco but decided to quit and see the world. im easygoing, funny (or so i think), and a generally agreeable person. i love adventure but am still pretty rational and at times a bit too risk averse (so i love meeting people who are the opposite and balance me out!)

PHILOSOPHY

im willing to try (almost) anything once

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i love the concept! im eager to meet locals and experience new places the way that locals do, rather than simply do the touristy things

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
