Beginner traveler hoping to experience some cool places before I die. My life is about friends and family, art and learning. I believe part of the key to happiness is continually challenging yourself and opening up to new ideas. I’m really into music and movies, I also consider myself a musician and filmmaker. I love reading and podcasts, lately I’ve been into Kurt Vonnegut. My Spanish is a work in progress but surrounding myself with it will help immensely. I practice daily zen meditation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world! I want to know what it’s like to live in other places and other countries especially. Traveling on a budget makes Couchsurfing very appealing.
