I'm an early 30s American with pretty extensive experience living, working and studying in various places all over the world. I love to be outdoors and stay off the beaten tourist trail when I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel solo and like to meet locals and keep costs down. Love AirBnb as well. Both offer more interesting opportunities than the old youth hostels I used to live in.
