I'm a typical person in that I like to see beautiful things, meet beautiful people, and eat delicious food. My motivation for traveling is to gain context on the life I live through the lives of others. With enough travel, it is my belief that I will have the tools to be my most content self and help others achieve that as well.

About 2/3 of my time I spend as an extrovert; open to talk to anyone and up for whatever adventure crosses my path. The other 1/3 of the time I want to I re-watch episodes of my favorite shows or dig into a new book with a big plate of sushi snacks(I will certainly make these and offer you some if there are avocados available, they are amazing). I have had confirmation over and over that I am nice, easy-going person.

I'll be respectful of your home and your way of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have very little travel experience and it's about time that I acquire more, don't you agree?!

Aside from it being a good choice economically, I'm really excited to chat with new people and hear all about what they love about their cities/countries and anything else that crosses our minds.
