Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet up with locals as I travel the world, make friends, share stories, and explore the places with local flavor.

Also, hoping to host some cool people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most recent amazing thing is probably solo backpacking the Chilean Patagonian wilderness, 130 km of hiking in about 8 days, it was pretty awesome!

I wrote a photo essay of this trip, check it out if you like to read travel stories and some absolutely stunning scenery - http://bit.do/gsPatagonia

Seriously, Patagonia is breathtaking, you should go visit! :)
