Web Developer. Traveler. Gamer. Outdoorsy. I love cats. I am generally curious, open minded, interested to get to know different places and people. I am introverted but I love to be social and meet new people from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to be able to travel more and meet up with other travelers. I do often travel solo but sometimes travel experiences are best shared! I have been to 69 countries and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that as a traveler you can never run out of things to learn about any place. Meeting people has tremendous benefits to travelers and I hope to do more of it through couchsurfing.

Interests

I am an avid traveler who has been to 69 countries. I am very interested in outdoorsy activities like hiking as well as cultural sights. I am open to lots of different travel experiences. The only activities I don't really care when I travel for are hanging out on beaches and partying. I love giving and exchanging travel tips and talking about different cultures. I am also a tech geek who loves web design, computer programming, and gaming. One more thing - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CATS!
