From California, living in Sweden. The best nights are the ones with wine and good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience real places, people, and cultures, not get stuck in the tourist whirlwind!

Interests

I love talking about the world and the people in it - politics, philosophy, random facts and great stories. I like reading, cooking, wasting time on reddit and spending time with friends.

Everyone has something to teach, often best done over a bottle of wine.
