I am an avid reader, swimmer, biker and joy seeker. I love the outdoors and live trying to leave as small a footprint as possible as I live in harmony with my environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had lots of opportunity to travel across the world and consider myself a global citizen who loves new experiences. So many people across different walks of life have extended hospitality in my direction that it leads me to want to do the same thru couch surfing.

I love the idea and concept of this community and want to be part of it.
