I'm setting off on a six month travel expedition this summer, initially starting in Europe. I've decided to take a twelve month break in my career and am determined to see the world through a different lens than my previous travel experiences. I'm very outgoing, open-minded and love to share stories over fresh coffee, craft beers and great food. I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, reading and watching the world go by from a great wine bar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am embarking on much of this trip solo and feel couchsurfing is the perfect opportunity to meet people along the way, create authentic cultural experiences and share my travels and philosophies with like-minded people. I cherish the life-long friendships I've made abroad and hope to continue these great memories with couchsurfing.
