I'm relaxed, curious and extremely willing to hear about the strangest, least approachable thing that you love. I firmly believe that everyone has something interesting to say about something, and it's usually very specific.

Books, coffee and cold weather sit well with me, sand, stress and sunburn do not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel solo and I like meeting new people who I would never otherwise have met because the places where we usually live and work are one or more oceans apart.

People close to me have been using and loving couchsurfing for a long time and every time they introduce me to a person they met here that person is lovely. I can't think of a better recommendation for the group than that.
