I'm a California grown researcher and social activist . I've previously lived in Budapest, Hungary; Leon, Spain; and Tyumen, Russia; Curitiba, Brazil; and traveled a lot in between!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In college my housemates and I hosted a few travelers and had a lot of fun with it, and I've been hooked ever since. I've always loved to travel, but have never been much of a sightseeing/tourist attraction type of person. I'd much rather chat with someone and join their life for a few days to get an peek inside a different culture and lifestyle.

Interests

In my free time I love experimenting in the kitchen, herb and vegetable gardening, writing, exploring new cities (... or getting lost in them) and hearing people's stories.
