I love exploring new places and learning from other people. I enjoy playing music, especially improvising on violin and piano and dabbling in songwriting. My favorite ways to learn about a place are walking around and checking out the local food and markets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to meet people you may never otherwise meet. You learn more about a place by talking for an hour to someone who lives there than by reading a guidebook cover to cover. It's a fun way to learn about a place, and also get to meet awesome people.

Interests

I am always up for a good conversation over a good cup of coffee or stout. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. The best way I learn is through hands-on experiences, so I enjoy trying new things and seeing new places.
