I have a pretty funny mix of interests. I love to travel alone, I like plants and gardening, performance cars, reading old classic literature, swimming competitively, and my job as an emergency medical technician. I like learning languages and talking for hours with people about meaningful things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am backpacking in Europe for 2 months this Spring/Summer and want to get to know the true culture and lifestyle, not just see it from hotel windows.
