ABOUT ME

Ask me! Seriously. I'm sure whatever I'd put here would be lame.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend suggested I register due to the amount that I travel.

Interests

History. Love learning about culture and history. I could sit at a cafe for hours and listen to what you have to say. I LOVE learning new things.
Enjoy playing Tekken.
I used to be good at chess. Not Bobby Fisher good, but good enough.
