I live to travel. I get antsy if I stay in one place for too long and am constantly switching things up. I've recently moved to Alaska to try my hand at bartending after spending a year in South America and am looking forward to my next adventure in Southeast Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is great for making friends and learning new things while you travel. I've heard firsthand the struggles of being an Afghani refugee in Turkey, had a behind the scenes introduction to street art, gotten a crash course in what it's like to be a foreign service officer, been taught latin dance, and generally had a great time with fellow couchsurfers.
That said, if you're visiting Ketchikan, let me know and I'll take you around. Plus, I can live vicariously through you while I'm not traveling.
