Upbeat, thoughtful and excited to see the world! It's quite hard for me not to get along with people! I find a lot of joy in seeing new places and being exposed to new ideas, as well as sharing good food and good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heard nothing but great things from pals who have used Couchsurfers in their travels! I'm stoked to meet friendly locals and share and hear stories from folks with a wider perspective on the places they live!
