I want to travel. Simple as that. I loooove to travel. I believe it is the best way to learn about others and understand yourself. Life is short, so we must live as fully as we can.

I love exploring, going to concerts and seeing the local music scene, hiking, trying new foods, reading, and attempting to learn key phrases in the local languages of places I will be visiting. I love cool bars, bad jokes, good music, and awesome people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have crashed on couches many times, and have used Couchsurfing to stay in a few places in the US and abroad. It's a great way to meet locals, and save a few bucks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on top of Volcan Poas in Costa Rica at 11:11:11 on 11/11/11, and it was just a surreal moment in a beautiful place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've recently decided to try more recipes and learn to cook more things. I also know Spanish but am always looking to brush up!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a meal, or would be more than happy to stock the fridge with beer!
