My partner Dan and I quit our jobs in 2016 and traveled around the world for 18 months. It was actually the first time I had really been out of country. I believe in doing the things that make you happy because I have felt the reality of being in a situation where you don't know if you'll see tomorrow so I find happiness with the present. I tend to be more of an intro extrovert, but have learned to love the adventure of sometimes being uncomfortable. I find solo traveling empowering and find friends all over the world through couchsurfing!

If you like coffee shops, open mics, comedy, poetry, films, arcades, comics, nature hikes, or going to local shows (art and music) we'll probably get along. Or if you're someone who is always up for trying new things, especially food related, we will get along :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have received so much unconditional love from strangers (especially during travels), I would like to give back and open up our home when possible.
