I love pretty much anything active (favorites surfing, basketball, beach volleyball) or creative; outdoorsy things (backpacking, camping, climbing); learning new languages, history, science, and music; new adventures and projects. I lived in South America and New Zealand for a few years and spent part of my childhood living on a boat down in Key West.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting, unique, and adventurous people... I enjoy people who are intelligent and adventurous, who can hold an intellectual conversation but also love to joke around and be silly.
