"If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cry of strange birds and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?"

I'm trying to do a new country every year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet friends and meet the people that live where I'm visiting. I want to be more than a tourist when I go abroad.

Interests

I love to read in my downtime and explore. I love to explore new places, new food, new culture; I love to explore forests, mountains, deserts and lakesides.

• culture
• dining
• cooking
• working out
• traveling
• backpacking
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy classic rock, indie rock, indie folk, classical, 1940-era oldies.

I'm currently attempting to read as many classical literature books as I can fit into one year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to think of one: what may be amazing to my friends back in the United States is so normal for those who travel the world. However, apparently moving to a foreign country without a plan and having it work out is amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good cook and a neat guest. I'll keep to myself unless invited to join and can be very outgoing, especially when talking about common interest.
