30 year old female that enjoys reading, history podcasts, listening to music, and playing computer games. Biggest passion is traveling and exploring new places and meeting and connecting with new people! I was initially first inspired to travel especially from my grandmother and then also Anthony Bourdain and watching his Parts Unknown show and reading the books he authored from his kitchen culinary days and traveling.

I love exploring cities by foot and public transit especially and really enjoy experiences - dining together, cooking together, and things of that nature is a great way to get to know a person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet and interact with local communities when visiting places.
