About Me

I am a serial traveler with family, friends and solo for the past 15 years. I recently completed my solo trip around the world since August 2019. I spent nearly two years in 15+ countries and 4 continents, and it changed my life having the Couchsurfing community.

I'm currently searching for a new home and am looking forward to hosting the next group of CSers when that happens!

I am looking forward to meeting wonderful people and building great relationships while on the road. I'm very laid back, enjoy deep conversation and learning about people. I love music, yoga, meditation, hiking, laughing, SCUBA, reading and eating all kinds of food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to meet people who are living where I'm traveling, and return the favor when I'm not on the road. It is truly the best way to share culture, develop friendships and see the best a location has to offer.

Also, I'm all about the budget traveling life!
