ABOUT ME

Learning new things about myself and the world around me all the time -- living abroad has been a great way to do that!

PHILOSOPHY

"The only thing that matters is people." - my grandpa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here, but CS seems like the perfect way to really get to know a new city, especially one you're only in for a short time. I'd like to become a regular surfer while I'm exploring the world, and then return the favor as a host when I stay someplace long enough to do that.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, yoga, reading, running, music, laughing, learning new things/languages...people...being outside...good beer/wine/coffee...

I also love (...and am terrified of...) sharks.
