I'm always looking to try something new, always accepting opportunities presented, whacky and wonderful alike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels have always treated me well, and I love meeting other travelers. But here I'm looking for a way to meet locals in an attempt to not only see a new place but understand it too, something only a resident can offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tough one. I don't like talking about myself like a sales pitch (who does, really?) but I was proud of myself when I left a certain place because I wasn't happy there. I had planned to stay for a few months in another country with a host who turned out to be the stuff of nightmares. I had no other plans and no place to stay but I left anyway with not much to lose except that guarantee of remaining safe but unhappy. Three days later was the best day of my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smiling face and a happy tune if you've catch me traveling with an instrument (or if you've got one to share!)
