I've moved around the US quite a bit: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Alaska, Oregon, and now Minnesota. I'm a city planner gathering intel about the failures of bureaucracy so I can one day start my own community development non-profit and address those failures. I enjoy learning about different perspectives and value the lived experiences of all people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help make travel more affordable, to meet new people with different perspectives, and traveling to learn about places and people - not just seeing the superficial touristy parts.
